Geraldo had a least a 10 pound weight advantage over Leonard, and the first punches that Gerlado landed,
Ray Leonard thought that his power was "unreal".
Leonard's 'team got really angry at Angelo Dundee for making this fight (Leonards 22 pro fight)

Carnera beat the following:
Victor Campolo (280)
Ray Impellatire (258)
George Godfrey (250)
Seal Harris (248)
Jose Santa (247)
Split with Jack Sharkey who weighed 202 and 201 for their fights.
Lost to Joe Louis who weighed 196.
He had a long career and fought guys of all different sizes with varying degrees of success.
Carnera is the only fighter that we have ever found who weighed over 220 and beat a great fighter under 200.
He beat Tommy Loughran who weighed 186.
