He weighed 144 when Lamotta beat him (same weight as Pacquiao in this fantasy fight), so not really an actual Middleweight.
I'm referring to the last 3 fights that Robinson won as a MW. They were not easy either you know.
LaMotta was a MW in the era of the same day weigh in policy. Today he could easily bulk up to 170 pounds for the fight and then the size difference is much worse for Manny.
None of those fights were easy for Robinson, an actual Middleweight who was a much better boxer than Pacquiao could ever hope to be.

Well, Ray Robinson did do it. 5 times.
Lamotta came on late in most of those fights, as I said he would against Pac.

Yeah Pacquiao will use his superb boxing skill to outsmart LaMotta! Ray Robinson couldn't do that but, hey! Who the hell cares, am I right?

12 rounds, Pacquiao UD. Lamotta comes on in the championship rounds but too late to mount a comeback.
15 rounds, the Raging bull walks Pac down in the later rounds, TKO Lamotta.

The same exact weight that Manny beat Margarito and the same weight that Ray Robinson lost to Lamotta in there second fight.
Who wins and why?
Jake LaMotta is 90 years old, I doubt he can make 160 anymore. But if he can, I say Manny by brutal KO early.
It depends on who's doing the time traveling. If Lamotta goes into the future, Arum won't make the fight happen until the effects of time travel get to Jake's body. If Pacquiao goes back into the past, he won't perform as well due to the fact that he'll miss his family, friends and country of his era, gravely effecting his focus.
