Wladimir Klitchko v Primo Carnera?

Question

who would win? At least Carnera had a good, stiff jab and came forward behind it. Klitchko's jab is like a wet lettuce.

Answer 1

Granted Kllitchko has a good jab, but the lack of chin and his overly cautious refusal to throw combinations against obviously inferior opposition is very frustrating.  When there is nothing else in the heavyweight division to compare it to, (believe me there is little else), his jab not only enough, it is the only thing relevant.

He beat Ibragimov, defensively, which makes for less than entertaining "championship" caliber boxing matches.  My opinion is a reasonably aggressive heavyweight with decent power would eventually land a solid punch.  Brewster and Sanders proved Klitschko doesn't take punches well, and Carnera is far superior to either of them, so I give the edge to Carnera.  They could trade jabs all night long, but at least Carnera would throw a right hand or hook off his jab.  Klitchko tends to do little else but jab.

Carnera by KO.

Answer 2

klitschko would set a fast pace the same way baer did, knowing that carnera needed space to punch.

vlad would dominate the bout and stop primo in 12.
