out of all the middleweight champions....

Ray Robinson won 5 outta 6 fights...

Monzon would also handle LaMotta every time in a series, too...

Hagler is too diversified for LaMotta... A great pairing there...

Nigel "Big Ben" Benn prolly batters LaMotta real good at 160 as well as any top dog would...

MR.BILL:bbb

Note:

I exclude other champs like: "Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Barkley, Toney & Royale Jones" since they were only cameo players / champs at 160....
:think

 

LaMotta would be a dangerous challenger for prety much anybody.

 

Jan,

I'll buy that.:good:deal

MR.BILL:deal

 

Though many here in the classic forum will insist that Harold Greb would KO Jacob LaMotta flat on his face inside of 3 rds if pitted in a time machine...

MR.BILL:yikes

 

In a series I think that LaMotta could take one against Greb.

 

I'll be dipped... I'm gonna mail you a cigar...:hey

MR.BILL:rasta

 

Robinson (naturally), Monzon and Hagler would have LaMotta's number and quite possibly Tiger, Giardello and Griffith (at least in a rematch) as well.

Since you asked, my late pally Natie Liff usta LOL!!!!...when asked about Jake vs Harry. Natie was Harry's corner-man. Said....."Please tell Jake I said he couldn't be Harry Grebs sparring partner!! I should add Natie knew and worked with Jake also.

 

I'd say theres probably 20 or so MWs that would beat him prime for prime, Robinson was 144lbs when Lamotta beat him

 

You dont think Greb would stop Jake in a round?? Or 2 perhaps?

All Harry Greb is missing is that S on his chest.

 

I would favour Greb over any middleweight in history, but the great ones could split a series with him given his hectic schedule.

Greb KO2 superman by the way.

 

Greb would have a picnic with LaMotta because of STYLES. LaMotta would be a sitting target for Harry,
. His volleys from all angles ,would befuddle Jake, who would be punching
the air.Lamotta couldn't get set,as speed kills and Greb had the hand speed, and speed of foot to escape from any possible danger... BAD, BAD,
Matchup for the Bronx Bull. No Contest...

 

MW is always very interesting because there are so many really good fighters that could beat each other on a given nite.
