Jake LaMotta vs. Sugar Ray...

there's a world of different between butterfuly and robinson, one of the greatest punchers ever though

leonard was not a "puncher" per se but at welter he had serious pop. he was a boxer puncher who could deal real damage when he sat down on his shots

whether he could even dent lamotta though is a different story...

 

yes, i said butterfly because his hitting power was it compared with the robinson´s

leonard was an stylist, he knocked out his rivals with fast combination by accumulation of blows and weariness

 

This. Lamotta had the style, but not anywhere near the power. Duran had a lot more sting. You can't wear an elite cutie like Leonard down with tenacity and pressure alone. You need to hurt him and break him down. I really don't feel LaMotta could be counted on to do that a majority of the time.

Leonard by UD 6 or 7 times out of ten. He loses one time because he stands toe to toe to much and gets edged, and the other 2 or 3 times because LaMotta does great work and breaks him down effectively. Jake will not come close to kayoing Leonard.

 

It's a stupid expression. Robinson hit harder, but Leonard had a fine punch. It wasn't a joke compared to anyone his size. And no, I didn't pick Leonard by KO.
