Thread: Jake LaMotta Shadow Boxing at 89 Years of Age

He is probably deaf, someone needs to fix the old guys toilet, you can hear it running,the water bills must be through the roof.

What's important is that Jake LaMotta kicked a prime Sugar Ray Robinson's @$$, and Robinson is the Pound-For-Pound Greatest in Boxing history...

He never kicked Rays ass. He beat him and outweighed him by 15 pounds. Ray beat him previously with a similar weight disadvantage and then went on to beat him 4 more times after that first loss. And Robinson being this p4p greatest in history is highly debatable.

So I guess he'll fight the winner of Jones Jr and Collins?


By the way, when he was good, LaMotta runs Jones Jr out of the ring.

Good one.

But, you know LaMotta would have had no chance against Roy in their primes. It would be like a Palenstinian freedom fighter throwing rocks at an Israeli tank.

Sweet Jesus, Lamotta would have gotten killed by prime Jones. Absolutely obliterated. Not even close.
