    I think Lamottas size difference isn't too major, he's only 3 inches taller with the same reach. Lamotta isn't the biggest dude he fought, but probably the most stocky

    Tell me a rival of pacquiao that was even close to the size of lamotta... If you are going to talk about height and reach don't waste your time

    oscar de la hoya would have naturally been about the same size if he hadn't shrank down to make weight. I' not saying that size is meaningless here, but manny has several advantages over jake to make this competive. I think manny is going to be the hardest hitter and the faster one in this and the one with better feet, but i don' see him being able to knock jake down or out either.

    Grapefruit ,, he has no chance. LaMotta was ranked at LtHVY and fought the heavies too ..Don't think just because what you saw Pac do to Cotto, DLH, Hatton .. He's doing that to LaMotta. Jake walks right through, throws Pac against the ropes, bangs the body and it's a short night .. Pac is no SRR

    Prime LaMotta was basically a SuperMW who fought in the MW Division (see Gene Fullmer too).
    Pac probably couldn't hurt Jake.....might just biss LaMotta off even more.
