    joe frazier and jake lamotta? both short, extremely strong, great stamina, tough chins and good left hookers. both fought out of a low crouch. id say lamotta had a better chin but then again joe was in there with some huge hitters. that aside i think they fought very similar styles. any replies?

    There are more similarities between Joe Frazier and Henry Armstrong as well as Rocky Marciano and Jake LaMotta (aside from punching power).

    :goodyes there are similarities between frazier and armstong and joe was happy about being called a heavyweigh hammerin' hank.
    what lamotta lacked in marciano's punching power he more than made made up for with his chin,i also think he was a much better boxer.

    Straight forward aggression is about the only stylistic similarity,imo.
