What If?

Let's say that the height of the Middleweight division was: 1975-1990

With fighter such as:

Sugar Ray Leonard:
Thomas Hearns:
Robert Duran:
Marvin Hagler:

What would have happened if you through Jake LaMotta into this time period?

Who do you think LaMotta would defeat/ be beat by and struggle with.

He would probably wear Hearns down but other than that Id have him as the underdog.

He would overwhelm Leonard and Hearns, though each would probably take one of 3 three fights from him. Duran was old by the time he got to 160. I'm not sure he'd have the basic punch output. hagler would beat Jake on points.

LaMotta Duran would be absolutely brutal. Trust me there would be no "No Mas" moment. But there would be a mess to clean up after the fight...I have no idea who would win but it would be savage.
