    there are a lot of similarities. la motto was kept out the picture until late in his career. it was no secret in the game that he was avoided by the elite. both have great chins

    there is a difference between them in height but there styles are similar

    There are similarities.

    LaMotta was featherfisted, though.

    He does remind me of a fighter of that era with his up front, swarming style of boxing.
