    Conn is far too quick, far too intelligent and far too good a boxer for LaMotta to beat him.

    I don't feel LaMotta has the firepower to knock him out, Conn is the bigger man having fought at light-heavy, and LaMotta didn't have one punch power. He had accumilative power, but I don't think he could pressure and trap Conn and land on him enough to stop him.

    Bad match up for LaMotta, over 15, I take Conn something like 11-4, 12-3.
