    jake lamotta starched some of the best light heavies of his days. it was also common for light heavies to fight heavies. so in this hypothetical matchup who wins this WAR?

    any thoughts on this fight? of course lamotta is a light heavy in this one. i see a foul filled brawl.

    LaMotta wasn't a big puncher even in his own weight class???? Galento was a big puncher at heavy. Even though LaMotta had granite chin, getting hit by a legitamite big punching heavy is a whole new ballgame! Having said all that, I still say that LaMotta was the better fighter and could probably get a decision or late stoppage due to Galento exhaustion. But Galento will have the punchers chance for the first 3-5 rounds! What a sloppy fight in a phone booth!
