[Nile4000]

15/160, who wins?

I would want to say Barkley but then I remember LaMotta fought Ray Robinson five times and was at least robbed once as well as beating him outright. LaMotta had a pretty ridiculously high success rate against the golden age of middleweights.

Should be a pretty competitive brawl. Both guys are very tough. Both are gonna be able to take each other's best shots. Both are gonna be there for the distance.

I feel like Lamotta ultimately would outhustle Barkley, and take a hard fought decision.

I believed LaMotta fought SRR 6 times not 5. They first fought in late 1942, twice in 1943, twice in 1945 and their sixth and final fight in 1951. Anyways, between the Raging Bull and the Blade, LaMotta would get the better of Barkley with better shots on the body and head to take a decision.

The Raging Bull on points.
