    If LaMotta had entered his prime around 2000-2010, what impact does he have on the middle weight division? Does he stop the rise of GGG, does he rule the division or is just a belt holder etc? What's your opinion?

    LaMotta was a special fighter and would have been handful for anyone in any era. LaMotta vs. GGG would be a lot of fun. I could see Jake out working him.

    LaMotta out jabbed Ray Robinson for 10 rounds until wilting under Ray`s vicious right hooks to the body, his jab was super fast and completely untelegraphed, coming in doubles and triple`s like GGG`s, but I feel GGG will know how to exploit his reach and out jab LaMotta plus making him gas with a body attack, La Motta often had weight problems.

    You do realize he is talking about Jake now and not in March 1996.

    Jake LaMotta rated 28.
    Quality of competition: 10
    Bouts vs Top 50 fighters: 1
    Why He`s Here: He was willing to fight the best black fighters of his er. And beat Ray Robinson when nobody else could
    What He Could Have Done To Better His Ranking: Ducked Sugar Ray when he was champ. You asked for it! lol!
