Heavyweight Champion 1933-34

6'6"-267 lb. Primo Carnera was the all-time physical giant of all the modern heavyweight champions. Carnera was a big but harmless man. At one time he was moved around by a syndicate of gangsters, and many of his early so-called victories were rigged. He was agile in a big-footed way, but his arms were impotent when he laced up the gloves. Following his boxing career Carnera turned to professional wrestling where he made enough money to open a liquor store in California.
