      Like how he decked Bernard Hopkins, Jorge Castro and Fermin Chirino at middleweight?

            Did you just compare BHops defense and LaMottas? C'mon now. And Roy is by far the better fighter and will be remembered as such.

              In his prime big punches ray robinson, bob satterfield and lloyd marshall could not put jake down so i dont see roy jones being able to

                Jones might be too much for LaMotta at 168-175 but I think LaMotta could give a young Roy some rough moments at 160. If only we had footage of him fighting a young Sugar Ray Robinson in the 1940's, instead of the aging LaMotta that was having great trouble making the weight in the 1950's.

                  if you have actually ever watched lamotta you might notice that he had very under rated defence, he would roll and slip alot of punches

                    Because Hopkins was such a great defensive artist in the early 1990's? He went in face first and slugged, although he was much more cautious against Jones.



                    LaMotta did certainly have better defense than Jorge Castro who was a human punching bag yet went the distance with Roy Jones.
