    this would be an extremely fun bout I would have to pick jake lamotta based of the fact that he beat a prime ray Robinson and gene did not but what are your thoughts on this bout?

    I would call this a pickem type of fight. I would slightly favor Jake, but prefer Fullmer style so would be slightly pulling for him. I will say 8-7 in favor of Lamotta

    LaMotta easy. He knew how to fight, and Fullmer didn't, IMO. I have a closed mind on Fullmer, nothing can change my mind. The only things I would stipulate are that the fight not be held in Utah and that there be a referee who would enforce the rules of the ring.

    Fullmer did pretty good for a guy who couldn't fight.

    LaMotta had faster hands and was busier, Fullmer utilized an awkward jab and was the harder puncher. Both had great whiskers.

    Probably busier and faster wins a decision.
