well lamotta`s gonna be a good match-up for ketchel he will come to fight ketchel not box him. so that will be to ketchel`s advantage and lamotta is not going to be able rough ketchel up any more than he was used too fighting in the era that he did.both very durable ketchell put johnson down so you cant discount his power no matter how good lamott`s chin was.i would go for ketchell by ud in a brutal fight .lamotta hits the floor at some point.now everybody can kill me for picking the old-timer
I'd take LaMotta, though i have Ketchel as a greater middleweight, LaMotta was a very great 160 pound fighter in his own right.
