In a p4p sense, how would a fight between Jake LaMotta and Ricky Hatton go? Being a Hatton fan, it's hard for me to admit it but I think LaMotta would leave Ricky sprawled out on the canvas.

La Motta... Hattons got a lot of heart... decent chin and hits quiet hard but personally I think La Motta was more skilled... had an Iron Chin.... hit harder for his weight (yes... a monstor :p) and was tougher ;)
Thats not knocking Hatton though... just giving props to La Motta ;)
Well Hatton is still active, and LaMotta is well established as a great of the sport. Its unfair to compare at this moment in time, but if i had to pick atm LaMotta KO's Hatton.
I'm leaning towards Lamotta. He's got heavier hands and solid as a rock.
Being a Hatton fan myself its not hard for me to admit it, LaMotta by a country mile.Quote:

You're comparing Hatton to a guy that beat the great Sugar Ray Robinson, and haton just got beat by some dude name Calozzo (imo) are you seeing it clearer now ?
GOOD NIGHT HATTON!!!! The Ragin Bull would Hammer him unconscious.....Hatton has nothing on Lamotta when it come to brawling or ruffhouse tactics...I think Lamotta wrote the book on that kind of stuff....doubtful that there will ever be a movie about Hatton too.Quote:

Why don't you learn to read ya retard, I said IN A P4P SENSE, idiot.Quote:

I'd say Lamotta by UD, he dosen't have enough power imo to knock out Ricky Hatton....He was a light puncher
Apparently I am not the only one here case I see most responses being that Hatton gets laid to waste. By the way, it is politically correct to call me "mentally challenged" not a retard.Quote:

yeah, no question. i'm a big fan of ricky's too, but he wouldn't last 8 rounds with lamotta.
la mota's chin was unbeleivable. never knocked down properly (but he may have done against robbinson had it not been for the ropes). awesome. but hatton is supperior skill and work rate wise.
The Bronx Bull punishes him till round 6 then ends Hattons night abruptly...Jake was just a special Package of power chin and just ruthless relentless agression he was a very angry fighter not the most skilled but just had an Iron willQuote:
