Kelly Pavlik vs Jake Lamotta

[!! Shawn]

You people do realize that LaMotta makes Cory Spinks look like Mike Tyson right?

yup,
my prediction is entirely based on modern boxers inability to deal with the frustration that he would present.

Why are so many people picking LaMotta by KO?....LaMotta was not a big puncher, he only had 30 KO's in 83 wins, most of his KO's from wearing down his opponents and the accumulation of punches, he never had 1 punch KO power.

Kelly Pavlik's size, strength and reach advantages would be too much for LaMotta and he would win a comfortable UD.

thats exactly why people are picking him by ko. he would wear down and frustrate pavlik and eventually finish him.....if it was a fifteen rounder.

So....he would lose badly.

The results of this poll are mind boggling lol

So....he would lose badly.

not likely, if you think about it almost all of the odds are in lamotta's favor.

Pavlik's pin point accurate power shots, natural advantage in size, height and reach would be too much for Lamotta. He was 5'8 to Pavlik 6'2 and would be dealing with a bigger guy that knows how to use reach to his advantage. In order to beat Pavlik, you would have to either have more power or have excellent boxing ability and he doesn't have any of those attributes. Jake was never a big ****er to begin with and he had little skill. He mainly got by with his toughness and that would work against him on this match up. Pavlik being out lasted remains to be seen because he has went 12 rounds at a very hard pace and was not fatigued by no means. He is superior to Jake in every area. Pavlik would keep Jake at bay, go to the body and slowly wear him down and out.
