Primo Carnera vs Jess Willard, thoughts on the two big men of the earlier mid 20th century.

Jess Willard had more overall talent, but these two are definitely two of more the most untalented Heavyweight Champions of all time. I'd favor Willard to win in a sloppy ass fight.

Carnera wins, Willard counts his bonus money, hand delivered by Primo's "Associates".

so true...it's worth repeating.....

Primo takes a dive and his "Associates" collect all the money off Boxbuzz and Jaywheel.

Both not nearly as bad as often derided, I'll take the bigger puncher and more natural fighter in Willard.

Only after we send minions out to collect an "interest payment" and impose a severe penalty on those who "leaked" the betting info.
