    If JT is at his VERY best, he wins a competitive, yet deserved decision.

    Anything less than his best, Jake outworks him.

    I'd need to see how Toney operates over 15 before I could give an answer I'd truly be confident/comfortable with, to be honest.

    I'm never really concerned about the stamina of guys who have quality stamina over 12 rounds. And when Toney was in shape, his stamina was excellent... probably due to his poise and relaxation. An extra 3 rounds wouldn't change that.

    It's a fading guy like DLH, or Cotto that have doubts about in 15 rounders.

    LaMotta on points. I think he'd outwork Toney over the long haul, push Toney's output past where Toney wanted it to be.

    Actually Toney was at his best against pressure guys.Like Williams, Barkley, Jirov.

    Badly weight drained, but I guess it does not matter to you

    The likes of reggie johnson and mc callum would have easily outpointed that version of Toney too.so your point is just silly

    If it's going to be tough for Toney to last 15 rounds against anyone it would be Lamotta, but I still don't doubt his ability to go the extra 3. I know sparring and an actual fight are very different, but Toney sparred until the cows come home, or so I've heard. He also racked a fair few rounds over the course of his career in the ring as well as the gym

    Well by that standard, Toney won against Tiberi by relatively comfortable margins.That happened for real, anything else is just speculation.

    Not.tiberi was robbed and it was what hapenned it is a fact not speculation you did not understand the concept. The decision of the fight wasin favour of Toney but it was mistake of the judges it doesn't change that tiberi was robbed and the people watched it.IT HAPPENED FOR REAL

    It is only your opinion and that of other people.Just like a lot of people thought that Toney was obviously weight drained, but that does not mean anything right? As you said,we are only going by what is fact and that is a relatively comfortable Toney win.

    Jake by decision, LaMotta would win by volume
