    15 rounds.

    I think Bernard takes lamotta to school and hopkins size would be a problem.

    what do you guys think

    I think Lamotta gets his ass kicked and loses by a wide margin.

    And I think anybody who believes differently is living in the b&w era.

    Sugar Ray Robinson struggles with LaMotta in several fights, but Hopkins is just going to roll right over him?

    Im picking a prime Lamotta, not the one we have film of. He had a good style for Hopkins and despite his height was a big middleweight with an excellent jab.

    Independent of the fight analysis...Hopkins was not a massive MW. A freak physically but not "massive." He came in at 156 for the odlh fight. "Massive" mws can't get that low.

    Hopkins would control the center i of the ring and hit jake with a solid jab and combos and he would move

    My thoughts exactly.

    I have Hopkins winning, but not an easy night.

    Remember Robinson was welterweight he was past his best.

    Hopkins was a real middleweight with ATG skills.

    robinson is the GOAT but syles make fights

    If Robinson was past his best at welterweight, then when exactly was he AT his best??

    Your argument makes no sense. Robinson was in his absolute prime when he fought LaMotta.
