Bob Fitzsimmons vs Jake LaMotta

I think LaMotta's 59 year age advantage would be too much for Fitzsimmons to overcome.

 

Sorry I couldn't resist

 

lamotta Dances rings around fitzi and takes home a clear cut UD after 75 rounds.

 

Fitz by tko.

 

I'm surprised this got fewer responces. Obviously I back Fitz by KO, Lamotta was great but Fitz was a class above, underrated skills and a scary puncher at Middleweight.

 

i don't know about Jake reckoning he should have got diabetes with number of times he fought Sugar Ray Robinson, i think Jake would be getting PTSD and nightmare flashbacks for long while after fighting Ruby Robert.

 

I have faith in Fitz's power.

When you have a middleweight KOing tough heavyweights in a couple rounds, it's just ridiculous.

 

Fitz would have hurt him.

 

Are you implying Fitz was a better, harder puncher than SRR at 155-160, because Robinson didn't ko Jake in 6 bouts.

 

Neither did any other puncher for example Bob Satterfield, Irish Bob Murphy, Lloyd Marshall or any other legit KO puncher but I would say that Fitz was bigger, may have had better stamina hits alot harder than SRR not sure if he hits any harder than the 3 mentioned but it appears he was able to KO heavyweights...but since we don't know the threshold of LaMotta's chin resistance in his prime I think we can assume under 40-50's era gloves LaMotta takes it....It is possible that in his own era Fitz KO's LaMotta......I would go with Fitz by TKO with LaMotta more than likely on his feet but cut and bruised

 

I know.It doesn't alter the result of this mythical match up imo.

 

Yes. In the fight Ray lost Ray weighed144.5 to Jake's 160.5.
In the other fight in which Jake floored Ray[their 3rd fight]Ray scaled145 to Jake's160,75.
Fitz scaling 167lbs on the morning of their fight ko'd 184lbs Jim Corbett with one left hook to the stomach.
