My Greek grandfather always told me of Londos and how strong he was, he saw him live as a child and he said he was a beast up close, he still remembers it today at 80 smth years old
Primo Carnera was a wrestler in the pre-1930 style of Graeco-Roman before he was ever a boxer. Joe Louis's brother stated that Primo was a worthy and courageous boxer. Primo Carnera has had a filthy press over the years. He wasn't that bad of an actor in the part of "Python Macklin" in "A Kid For Two Farthings" either. A great man, whom many of us sorely miss.

Londos was 53 at the time.
Seeing Max Baer as ref must have brought back nightmares to Carnera.
