    both prime and you must remember conn was really super middle and small light heavy whereas lamotta fit into both catagories comfortably. who do you give the nod to how and why?

    Interesting one. I'd favour Conn but not by much

    conn would get a close ud ,conn was quick and also an intelligent fighter with very good boxing skills he fought heavier men with bigger punching power than lamotta without getting wrecked apart from the loss to louis who conn was outboxing.lamotta would pressure conn and always be in the fight but conns superior boxing would win the day.conns jab is the fight winner in my humble opinion

    Most of you believe Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight or at least the second greatest heavyweight of all time. Then if that is the case Conn would easily beat Lamotta. Louis was bigger, stronger, quicker and of course a harder puncher than Lamotta. There is no chance in hell Lamotta could win.

    Conn from 160-175 beats him clearly, what a beautiful boxer Conn was, Conn is bigger than Robinson and skills not too too far away from the P4P champ. Lamottas pressure keeps him in it, may take some rounds but Conn would clearly be the much better man

    conn was a slick boxer but he got kod by louis while lamotta took satterfields best shots and knocked him out. i see lamotta negatating billys jab with his left hook and heavy body pressure. toss up fight .

    according to box rec the lamotta satterfield was satterfields 17th fight and he had won just about all of them and in there with some good fighters. satterfield was one of the hardest punchers ever and lamotta kod him what makes you think he cant ko conn or at least beat him?
