Would Golovkin be able to hurt and/or stop LaMotta?

I think a guy like Golovkin has the power to stop anyone with the right shot. That being said, LaMotta was a granite chinned monster, and while short (I think his official height lists him at 5'8)had a stocky build and a huge head. He took Robinson's best shots very well and kept fighting with ferocity. Could he hurt him? Sure. Can he stop him? I doubt it.

Of course he could,
GGG has a very good punching technique, he surely has enough power to hurt/ stop La Motta.
In my opinion though in this fantasy much up GGG wouldn't be the aggressor, he's more of a boxer puncher.
La Motta would come forward as he always did, make it a fight of toughness.
Golovkin would try to box , but the raging bull was tough. If he manages to get in range and go to the body since the beginning, it'd be a bad night for GGG.
GGG can surely outbox La Motta, even outgun him, but I don't think he could out-tough him in a 12/15 rds war.
