    LaMotta whips him.

    This assumes Mayweather fights a middleweight (he wouldn't) and accepts the size disparity (he wouldn't).

    Jake doesn't have alot of knockouts, but this would be one of them.

    Floyd wouldnt be able to stop Jake being up his ass every second. A horrible and dedicated body attack.

    Jake stops him mid to late. Floyd has flashes of brilliance but it's not enough. He gets overwhelmed.

    If a 142lb Robinson beats him, then a 147lb Mayweather beats him. He'd box circles around Lamotta

    He couldn't even knock out Zivic who was the same weight and not in the same class

    Jake by a savage 7th round TKO. Mayweather will feel pain from the top of his bald head to the bottom of his hurting feet.

    Robinson was bigger,stronger,hits harder,had more stamina,was better combination puncher, had a bit longer reach and probably was better than floyd in every single department

    He wasn't stronger, he was 5'11 142lber so I know he wasn't stronger. He hit harder and threw more cominations, he wasn't fitter. Mayweather has a much much better defense and was faster, with straighter more accurate punches.

    Robinson aside, a 151lb Zivic beat Lamotta. Lamotta gets picked apart in a wide decision.

    Sorry are you new to boxing? Tall guys who weigh less are very rarely stronger than shorter guys who weigh more. Look how much more stocky Mayweather was than a young Robinson. Mayweather was stronger

    You have no ****ing clue about as strength works. About boxing or not boxing you have no clue.
    afirmating "i know that he is stronger" because a fighter is shorter a weighs a little more in this specific moment. Robinson was bigger than mayweather naturally a welter not a natural lightweight like floyd is.
    Joe Frazier weighed more than 202 pounder version of Holyfield and Evander was physically stronger for sure. Foreman weighed 217 against Frazier and Tyson 221 against Berbick being shorter, Foreman was the stronger guy for sure

    In the lower weights it's different. When a guy is as skinny as Robinson was he isn't going to be strong against a guy with a thicker back and legs like Mayweather had. Because it also depends where the muscle is distributed.

    Robinson also started at lightweight and should have been lightweight champion but Angott wanted the fight a 1lb over the lightweight limit in order to not lose his title. Robinson first weighed 147 at 22 while Floyd didn't until he was 28 but Floyd gained solid weight and wasn't blown up.

    Either way Lamotta is massively overrated and shouldn't be picked over most elite welters. Especially one of the best of all time.

    Jake would be on him like a rash, similar to the first Maidana fight but much more intense.

    Somebody hasn't watched a single fight from LaMotta. How can you watch him and call him unskilled disappointment?
