    Would Hagler have knocked out Lamotta?

    Lamotta fought in a different era, and Hagler was a strong Middleweight, but we all know that Lamotta had a historic chin and was very tough. Do you think Hagler would've KOd him though? Or do u think he would've at least dropped him, but not knocking him out?

    I'm not saying he would've. I was just wondering given that Hagler was so strong and fought in a later era. Athletes continue to get bigger and stronger.

    Marvin Hagler was better than the overrated LaMotta, and would definitely defeat him, probably by KO.

        Lamotta would show up drunk with a meatball sandwich.

          I'm not sure. Hagler wasn't really a 1 punch knockout artist, he was more the kind of fighter that wore out his opponents before knocking them out so unless LaMotta was drained from making weight I think it would have gone to the scorecards.

            No, he would have boxed him to a decision.

              NO way hagler knocks Lamotta out NO way, Hagler isnt a devastating hitter and Lamotta has a great chin to go with his heart.
