    Two of my favorite fighters...Head to Head...Literally.
    15 rounds at middleweight...Jake always comes forward...and coming forward against Tiger, is unhealthy for any middlweight.
    What is your pick?

    Some might disagree with me here, but I pick Tiger by UD. LaMotta couldn't outbrawl Dick Tiger IMO.

    Tiger's extra pop gives him the edge here. LaMotta's chin is better, but his chin was always better and he lost to plenty of fighters with weaker chins than Tiger. Stamina goes to Tiger. Speed goes to Tiger. But Jake would make it close.

    Honestly, I think Tiger's chin is every bit as good as LaMotta's.

    He was a hard, hard man.
