I'm gonna say Monzon because Lamotta is a smaller middleweight with below average punching power, Monzon is tough, good power good boxing skills. Lamotta has a degree of skill of his own but I think Monzon wins this.

Monzon would control the pace and win by decision. LaMotta, contrary to popular image, was not a puncher so he would have little chance.

Bad match-up for LaMotta I'd say. On his best night and on Monzon's worst he could possibly outwork Carlos to a decision (Briscoe almost did it once) but Monzon was so effective at using height and reach to his full advantage.

LaMotta's rushes would be met with jabs and rights but I don't see Monzon putting LaMotta down for the count. It would go to a 15 round decision.

I do think that LaMotta was better than Briscoe and Monzon called Briscoe the toughest opponent he ever fought.
