    If LaMotta fought Hagler and Monzon 6 times like he did the great SRR would he take at least one of them?

    By sheer grit and determination in a six fight series I believe so. And those he lost would still be holy battle s.

    Lamotta is tailor made for Hagler,and his style was what Hagler was most effective against, he could win 1 against Hagler, but highly unlikely. Monzon same opinion.

    If lamotta was allowed to weigh in as a light heavyweight, yeah probably.

    i don't think jake matches up too badly with monzon, can't pick him but going 1-2 out of a series isn't unreasonable.

    edit- thought it was 3 fights vs each, 6 is a hell of a lot of fights to pull out one win.

    i'm still not sold on a win over hagler actually.

    Maybe but he'd definitely lose the majority of the matches.

    What if Monzon cant hurt him though? That is a possibility. Jake keeps coming and putting unholy pressure on Carlos I could see him coming on late and taking a decision.

    Neither Monzon or Hagler would particularly hurt LaMotta IMO

    LaMotta would NEVER in a million years have a winning record in a series of 3 or 6 against Monzon.
