Watch the fight again; it was two young guys on their way up, not a world championship quality fight, especially not at that level in LaMotta's era.

Roy Jones. Too Big. Too Fast.
Jones would tag Jake at will and not be there too tag back. LaMotta was never a Huge puncher and just wouldnt connect enough despite his volume to amount enough damage to wear Roy down. Sure he'd have his moments when Roy would get backed up on the ropes but not often enough. Best bet is Roy wins a clear UD. I wouldnt rule out a cuts stoppage or maybe just maybe a sustained barrage from Roy that prompts the Ref to jump in. Jake Protests!

I'll give LaMotta his respect, it would be a good fight and a close fight, but Roy would win clearly by decision.
