    It'd have been a war, but LaMotta would've gotten the better of it for sure.

    LaMotta was much greater than Chavez Jr, but styles make fights, and they'd have had a great fight.

    Basilio vs Rios @ 147 great fight but Basilio too strong and Rios gets stopped
    Layne vs Adamek @ heavy I like Layne in this one but a close rough battle
    LaMotta vs Chavez Jr @ 160 Lamotta all the way
    Tiger vs Cloud @ 175 Tiger
    Marciano vs Arreola Marciano by KO

    Is this a joke? Marciano KO probably in 1 round and the goes for Chavez Jr vs Lamotta

    Some others that'd be barn burners

    Tiger vs Martinez
    Graziano vs Margarito
    Fullmer vs Benn
    Zale vs GGG
    Ketchel vs GGG
    Armstrong vs Pacquiao
    Basillio vs Cotto

    There's a lot more as well. But there's more competitive old school vs old school match ups imo.

    Would it? Very doubtful it would be a brutal war beyond 4-5 rds if Duran is physically and mentally ready
    to fight...

    Basilio UD
    Layne stoppage
    LaMotta stoppage or RTD
    Tiger wide UD or stoppage
    Marciano decapitation

    Terrible matches, you're comparing ATGs with mid tiers from this era.

    My old vs modern matches:

    LaMotta vs GGG (15 rounds)
    Mayweather vs Battling Nelson (45 rounds)
    Beterbiev vs Marciano (15)
    Gassiev vs Marciano (15)
    AJ vs Marciano (15)
    Wilde vs Inoue
    Wilde vs 5 star grilled chicken
    Antuofermo vs Hurd (15)
