    La Motta was a sly fox, could see a good decision there

    Jake had boxing skills that Graziano didn't possess. Rocky was wild and crude and he racked up many ko's but forget about him knocking Jake out. The Raging Bull had a great chin. LaMotta wins by unanimous decision.

    Graziano gets worn down, I'd say Jake by late stoppage or UD with Graziano looking worse for wear

    This figth would have been a true barroom brawl...

    Lamotta late stoppage, but he is npt going to look pretty by the end of the bout.

    After that bout, Paul Newman shows up and says: It's A Shame That My Character Lost To Robert De Niro's.
