    could Lamottas cast iron jaw hold up against Fitzsimmons skull cracking power? At middleweight, 15 rounds, both at there best, who wins and why?

    Fitzsimmons UD after beating the **** out of LaMotta. Perhaps a late stoppage or cut stoppage could happen

    I suspect Fitz's power and finishing ability would be too much even for LaMotta.

    Even LaMotta wouldn't stand up to Fitz power.

    Fitsimmons wins. I don't know whether he cracks LaMotta or he UDs after a brutal beatdown but he wins

    Taught say since boxing gloves were only invented in 1940.

    Fitz by decapitation.

    This has beatdown written all over it.

    Jake is a glutton and Fitz likes to serve it out by the shovel-full. I don’t see Jake lasting the full 15 here. Mercy stoppage.

    Jake's coming in and he's going to be taking some ridiculous hard shots in there . He'll try and swarm Fitz , knock him out of his zone , but he'll find Bob's ready for him .Fitz s punch s have Jake in la la Land but he'll keep on coming . Late fight , last few rounds , and Bob's shots finally have his man hurt enough to have him helpless on the ropes . That's where the story ends .
