    Rocky Graziano vs Jake La Motta, 160 lbs, 15 Rounds. We know these two never met in the boxing ring, who was tougher?

    Jake in about 10rds.
    Rocky called him his policeman because he took care of guys he didnt want to fight,and he also wanted no part of Jake.

    Lamotta by later stoppage. He rarely ever stopped anyone early and if he did they were lower level fighters. I think he'd grind Graziano down.

    I know that Sugar Ray Robinson stopped Rocky Graziano on April 16 1952 in 3 rounds.
