    Primo Carnera Strength???

    Yes he was a very big strong guy, even by today's heavyweight terms. Not very graceful and never really carried the punch his mass deserved. He was knocked out by Joe Louis and before him Max Baer, but won the title with a KO over Jack Sharkey.

    The mob pinched most of his earnings and he died of cirrhosis in the late 60s.

      Like the previous poster said, p4p his punch should of been way harder..but I imagine he was strong. It didnt matter though cause he was a horrible fighter.
