    He spent the bulk of his career at light heavy. In those days, there was no super middle and LaMotta today, would probably fight as a super middleweight. A lot of times he had to drain himself tremendously to make middleweight. But what if instead, he had just fought at light heavyweight. How would he have done?

    I can see no reason why he couldn't have had considerable success.
