Calzaghe by UD. Maybe no KD. But LaMotta's face would be ketchup.

Calzaghe doesn't sound Italian, does it -questionmark-

I don't care about nationality. This is a styles thing, Calzaghe is all wrong for LaMotta, it's that simple. And I don't have what ('enmity'?) for Ali and Walcott?

The only time I look at birthplace or hometown of a fighter is to see if I have access to primary sources (local newspapers) for him if I'm going to learn something about him.

I definitely go for Joe here. LaMotta only has strength on his side but Joe would use his strength against him. Calzaghe UD, probably really wide.
