    I hear at one point this was almost booked, prime for prime could have been good fight.

    Pick?

    Lamotta by decision i think, i dont think he had enough power to get Rocky out and i dont think Rocky could of gotten Jake out, but over 15 i see Lamotta winning UD

    lamotta was a much better boxer, was bigger and had that granite chin.it would be a one sided fight

    From 43-52 la motta was pretty special. Sure he'd always struggle with those who could hit and move but the Hudson fight aside he never seemed to get bullied in a fight and that's what Rocky liked to do to gain victory.

    la motta was also much bigger than Rocky and power aside holds most advantages.

    I reckon Jake takes it on points in a 10-5 type affair.
