Italian-American Tournament

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano, Joey Giardello, Carmen Basilio, Tony DeMarco, Vinny Pazienza.

Obviously, we know what would happen between Basilio and DeMarco, but there would be some pretty intriguing match-ups here. I've always thought Basilio would get the better of LaMotta, but I see "Raging Bull" picking Graziano apart over fifteen. I think Graziano take DeMarco and Pazienza makes an interesting fight for all of them. He wasn't the best but was fun to watch.

Haha. Well, Paulie just isn't big enough to compete, IMO. I suppose he could have fought Basilio and DeMarco. I don't see either one of those going well. However, a fight with him and Pazienza would certainly be entertaining for the fight and the post fight interviews no doubt.

Graziano vs. DeMarco would be a barn burner. I'd pick Graziano in five rounds.
