    From what I see of Lamotta on film, he beats GGG when I picture them fighting. Lamotta had an ATG chin, and GGG's jab was not "all-time".

    On film I see a mostly open guy with less than good footwork and below average power, and T-rex like reach who has good punching accuracy. Sugar Ray busted LaMotta up. Others did too. Several or them. What would GGG do to him? Think about it and please explain his numerous losses and SD's vs. oh about 20 men! I will be waiting and am curious to learn. Can you do that? Were they all better than GGG too?

    GGG has an excellent jab, even in old age it was a difference maker. And he hits a lot harder than anyone healthy that Giacobbe beat! How much could he take? Could he navigate and duck GGG jab and match his footwork? Certainly his plan is not to out slug with GGG as he hits much harder. I know Giaconbbe is a tough X con and colorful character but it's time to get real about his chances here.

    I see Jake winning, I think he's craftier & tougher. But it wouldn't be easy for him.
