Jake LaMotta V Julian Jackson, Nigel Benn and Thomas Hearns?

I think Hearns if he fought smart beats him. Benn? What a fight, Lamotta would probably reach him, and I don't know about Jackson.. Maybe Jackson.

 

LaMotta would beat those guys.

 

Lamotta by knockout on all 3.

 

Guys talking about Jake KO'ing Jackons or Hearns or Benn....Jake's KO
ration was only 28% (30KOin 106 fights). He wasn't a KO artist...he beat
you to a pulp but didn't finish off the best fighters.

He had a great chin so I don't see even the murderous Jackson KO'ing him
but certainly can see every one of the boxers mentioned winning a decision.

They all would be great fights...I think of all of them Hearns would be easiest to beat
based on his weaker chin. Also he's most like Robinson who LaMotta could and did
defeat.

 

15 round fights? at his best he wears out all three the same way

 

A lot of fights he had are against the same opponents like Robinson (6x), Zivic (4x), Basora (4x), George Kochan (3x), Tommy Bell (3x)

That's 20 (almost a fifth of his entire record) against guys with great chins aside from Kochan. Lamotta probably had a sightly above average punch but fought guys with top knotch chins.

 

Yeah, his 6 fights with SRR without a KO drops his average. Lies, damn lies and statistics.

 

Jackson and Benn were the sort of fighters who generally stopped or got stopped and their not stopping Jake no way so LaMotta most likley stops them, but they may go the distance unlikely IMO though

 

Hearns is the only one with a chance if he boxes and is able to keep Jake away from his body. Easier said than done. The Bull could punch very solidly to the body especially.

 

Hearns would stop Lamotta. Different era. Hearns was a sharp shooter whose punches would cut up LAmotta and it would be a TKO. Jackson would probably land on Jake and stop him. This is about later fighters style against old fighters style. Lamotta's style would not be as great a style for guys later as it was for the guys then.

 

I like Jake over Benn and Jackson. I think he gets in, goes to the body, brawls, and breaks their will.. Hearns would be different. That jab and power could outpoint jake all night if he stays outside. Hearns had great movement and often through that jab accurately on the move. However, Jake had a good jab himself, underrated imo. If he gets in often and Hearns wants to brawl, that changes things. Either way it's a battle of 2 tough guys.
