Gotta go with the alp to overpower enry.........primo was not as bad as is often suggested. 'ambling' is certainly fitting, but he was also a huge strong guy with a decent jab. only stopped in his prime by atg punchers, and he kept getting up, and in the baer fight would come back to win some rounds between knockdowns

i think coop, while a dangerous puncher, is not elusive enough to last the distance outboxing him or powerful enough to more often than not take out the much bigger man first

Carnera would cut Cooper's eyes up behind his jabs and right hands to score a stoppage win in 8 rounds.

Carnera, floored five times by left hooks, outboxed and jabbed to a pulp, having committed numerous fouls, loses on points.
