Jake LaMotta, never knocked out in his prime, vs. Joe Calzaghe?

Who do you think would win?

Calzaghe by decision. Lamotta not the hardest fighter to hit but almost impossible to stop. Calzaghe also had an iron chin and Lamottas lack of power wouldn't be enough to hurt JC in my opinion.

If Calzaghe was a natural 154-160 lber, I'd give the edge to the Raging Bull to wear him down. But I think Calzaghe's significant size advantage is the X factor here along with his southpaw, volume style which would've troubled LaMotta anyway. Calzaghe by hard-fought decision.
