    I would say yes. I think there will be trench warfare for the most part. Two great bodypunchers with the edge in strength going to The Bull. McCollum has more punching power and better from the outside.

    I think it goes the distance with LaMotta wearing him down to a close win.

    LaMotta runs Mike out of the ring..McCallum lucky he did not fight the fantastic 4. Way, way overrated.

    Good one. Hard fought fight with McCallum having to dig deep to avoid being caught up in the bull s rushes .

    I like LaMotta in this fight both were great body punchers but from what I have seen of LaMotta was his pace was fairly intense and his defensive skills are underrated....if we are talking the best of LaMotta vs the best of McCallum
