    Regardless of who wins, what do you think? it would be a boring fight or an exciting war of exchange i think that maybe hagler would choose to fight at cute boxer mode and it would be boring like hell, i think that lamotta wins in war mode

    I can't see this being boring,and ,though I rate Hagler top 4 at160lbs I cant forget he couldn't do much with Antuofermo,and Jake would eat him. Hagler as you say, turns boxer ,Matador to the Bull, he' would be a c*nt going to war with Jake when he has other options for victory. Very chancey fight !

    Cant see it being boring. Hagler had that jab which IMO would be a big issue for Jake. On the other hand LaMotta had high ring IQ himself. He had enough craft to make Hagler work and would also land from the outside as well as inside.

    I think it would be a series of fights. I very well could see LaMotta winning the first bout with Hagler making some adjustments in the rematch or rematches.

    I appreciate Jake but don't see him beating Marvin. Keys problem is that he was a natural 168 pounder when the division didn't exist. Making weight drained him and while his strength, chin and over all skill make this some fight I see him running out of gas.
