Who Breaks The Bull?

It's downright stupid to favor any MW over Jake by KO. Out-pointing him is another story. There are a fair few I'd pick to do that, though none of them without realizing they'd been in a fight. As TheGreatA said, he was hardly unbeatable.

 

Yup.

 

I don't think Jake fought massive punchers at 160. Make all the excuses you want but SRR stopped him as soon as he weighed in at 155, all the other times he was an undersized WW-LMW. A 155-160lb SRR stops any version of Lamotta for my money. Lamotta was stopped at LHW too by a couple of none greats who aren't upto the offense force of the histories best MWs

Would he even have gone the distance against the top MWs he didnt face like Charles? Moore? Burley?

What about bangers like GMAN? Carter? Benn? Jones? Hearns? Barkley? Julian Jackson? Accurate intelligent pressure from Hagler? Monzon? Greb? Toney? McCallum?

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze.

 

He fought Bob Satterfield.

The hardest punching heavyweight of the era probably including Marciano.

 

A few could of outboxed him, but no one is flattening him in a fair fight.

Yes, you get the odd quirky result in boxing, but that all that means is in theory anyone could flatten anyone else, at any given time. And it is unlikely to be the obvious (Nunn/Kalambay being an example at the weight).

I have not seen or heard of any man weighing 160 or under, who could flatten LaMotta in a straight boxing fight.

 

So Jake Lamotta is god now? Every boxer can be knocked out. You people never cease to amaze me. As somebody stated the best puncher Lamotta faced was Ray Robinson a welterweight and the highly overrated Bob Satterfield. Most of the guys Lamotta faced were other mob controlled fighters. If he would of faced big punchers like the G-Man, Nigel Benn, Kelly Pavlik, ect ect ect he would of been stopped


You know just because a boxer boxed in the 50s dont mean they are great you know? You people sure love to praise trash dont you? Lamotta a pedophile who beat women, to Mike Tyson a cowardly ****** who beat women.

 

Pre-prime when he had about 7 fights

 

I enjoy a sport, where the ultimate aim is relieve his opponent of his senses, so yes, I praise other people's trash...

Plenty of our heroes were anything but, outside of it, and not just in the 50s.

The 50s and 80s were the generally considered golden eras of the sport, thus they are by default going to get most of the praise, on a Classic Boxing Forum.

 

Lamotta was a pedo?
