Dream fight. Gene Fullmer vs Jake LaMotta. Who wins?

Question

15 rounds at middleweight.

Fullmer 55-6-3 (24)

LaMotta 83-19-4 (30)

Answer 1

This one is not even close, Fullmer beat an old Ray Robinson,but La Motta fought Robinson in his prime more than once and never got knocked out completely, the raging bull had a chin that could have very well been made of titanium, his work rate was very underrated, and he was fairly accurate, he would trade punches with fullmer for a while and then connect a hard hook to fullmer's chin some where in round eight, fullmer would be tired and slowed down and would not be able to react on it quickly enougn and by then it would be too late anyway, he would go down and try to beat the count but won't be able to, and La Motta would win.

Answer 2

jake nicks it by a close decision, with both fighters spending the night in hospital afterwards.

Answer 3

Fullmer is another who is ranked high because of a win over a Well Post-Prime Robinson.  Remember, Ray also holds a win over Gene as well.   In one of his early come back fight Robinson stopped Fullmer with one left hook.  He was well past his prime then.  

Ray fought Lamotta 6 times long before he ever heard of Fullmer and never knocked Jake off his feet.  Fullmer came along after Jake and his peers were long gone and Ray should have been.  

Fighter A beats Fighter B who beats Fighter C, doesn't mean Fighter A beats Fighter C.  However, in this case there is no guess work involved in Lamotta vs Fullmer.  It would be a good fight...............................a good one sided fight.  Fullmer punches a little harder.  Jake really was not a KO puncher.  He was a pressure fighter with some sort of metal in his chin.

Answer 4

o0o Hands Down Jake LaMotta.Gene Fullmer is a great boxer but i Think if it came down to it Jake would win !!!!

Answer 5

I have to agree with the LaMotta crowd on this one, thumbs up to glactus, he pretty much echoed my thoughts on this one.  I think LaMotta would have taken some serious punishment early, but eventually wore Fullmer down like he did almost everyone else he fought.
