    That's a tough one for me. I like Briscoe a lot. Absolutly relentless and never took a backwards step. Forced Hagler to stick and move and Monzon called him the best he fought.
    I can c these guys splitting a couple fights.
    Bennie also hit much harder but was easier to hit cleanly.

    LaMotta. He was just a class higher. Briscoe was fun but he lost to the best he fought and some who weren't the best. He might get a win in a series but I think LaMotta was just on another level.

    I'm inclined to agree.

    Could go either way, but LaMotta probably edges him over the distance.

    Lamotta wins in close decision.

    (Interesting potential fight).
