Kelly Pavlik vs Jake LaMotta

[ALT-Assassin]

How can you people disrespect a legend like Lamottato put Pavlik in the same category at this stage of his career is insane. Let Pavlik develop into a prime middleweight champion who cleaned his division out first.

Yeah i think i might have been a bit harsh picking Pavlik over LaMotta at this point, but i do belive that LaMotta gets overrated

This would be the kind of fight where somebody gets killed.......

Why? LaMotta was not a big puncher.

Both men can **** and have huge heart.......it would be war. (didn't litterally mean one would die)

Lol why would we have to wait a while before we compare Kelly to Jake? Jake is a overrated joke. Stop watching movies based on fighters and then base your view of the fighter off the movie. You know the black guy who Jake fought in the first fight of Raging Bull? The fight was nothing like that in real like. The black guy i cant think of his name was a bum and he completely dominated Lamotta. They fought 2 more times after their first fight and this same bum beat him again. Jake Lamotta had no punching power perioid. 86 wins with only 30 ko's. Yeah that would scare the hell out of Pavlik. Jakes chin is not nearly as good as you would think it was. Look at the record and ko percentage of the guys he fought. They weren't big punchers. It is like saying because Chris Byrd couldn't knock down Wlad Klitchko so it must ment Wlad had a good chin. Then imagine if Wlad made a career out of fighting like punching guys and guys controlled by the mafia.


Kelly Pavlik beats the crap out of Lamotta and stops him in about 5 rounds.

Totally agree. It's entirely possible that he hasn't even reached his peak yet.

Good film, but over-rated fighter.

Whoa. Pavlik is a good champ. But it's very premature to be making these kinds of comparisons.

Jake LaMotta was a hell of a fighter. But I believe Modern day fighters have a lot more endurance, due to new training techniques. Pavlik would outclass LaMotta, but it would be a good scrap.
