    I've always had this one in my head but can't remember people talking about it too much. Who wins?

    Lamotta. He was a bigger, better fighter than Fullmer and Basilio had nothing on Fullmer.

    LaMotta by decision. He'd just be too big and strong for Basilio, similar to Fullmer. Be a really good fight though with Jake getting the clear better of it.

    This fight would have been one of the most brutal ever

    Lamotta bullies Carmen to a late stoppage or UD.

    What a great thread!..Although Im takin Lamotta to win a decision this is a clash of the titans fight if ive ever heard one, Lamotta may win the decision he would have his hands full all night with Carmen, I see this fight gettin ugly quick so anything may go!

    Bullies might be a strong word for this match up, But I agree Turbo, the more I think about it I see a late stop as well..
