    both came storming out of corners to not give their opponent any breath what if they fought each over the same way who would come out on top

    I think under these circumstances Hagler would be giving Jake LaMotta the best chance to win. MH didn't usually fight in his style. He had a specific game plan in mind for Thomas Hearns. One he had to employ. So by strictly attack and brawling with Jake there is gonna be a good chance for the Raging Bull to fight his fight and get his inside game going. I`d have to favor LaMotta in this specific case.

    If fought under the scenario you have stated then La Motta granite chin would mean no ko in 3 and
    assuming Jake doesn't break his right hand like Hearns there would be some savage punches
    traded. Jake would attack the body and this would wear Hagler down. The pace would slow after
    3 rounds and even after 9. However Jake never gave up shown in his first title defense against
    Dauthuille when he rallied to ko him with 15 secs to go. Hagler let fellow roughhouse brawler
    Antuofermo rally and then so would Jake . Jake on points.

    Lamotta has a definite chance based on Hagler's struggle with Vito in the first fight.
