Could anyone have forseen that lamotta wouldbbe the last of his era still alive...? Never, w/w/ his lifestyle woulda figured that one, he's a decade older than my granddad!
The sheer speed coupled with the power behind each punch... Such a wild boxer. A wild stance. Head always low relentlessly going after his opponent without ANY fear, taking a punch better than any other boxer before him or after, he doesn't let it phase him and STILL manages to KICK ASS. Amazing. This toast is to you Jake. So fierce.
@charlsssoooo It's the weakest talent pool boxing has ever had. It was a sport before it was an embarrassment now. Floyd Gayweather and Manny Hackquiao better fight or the sport will be lost. Everyone decent runs away from each other now. Khan can't get Bradley to fight him, the heavyweight division is a disgrace with all the good athletes playing pro football and basketball instead, and the only real fighters are down around featherweight. No one seems to care about featherweights these days.
Jake LaMotta avait un grand respect pour Marcel Cerdan,un de nos plus grand champions Français,ils étaient semblables,tout deux avaient la rage sur le ring.Cerdan(le bombardier Marocain),s'envolait vers New York en cette année 1949 pour reprendre le titre a LaMotta, quand son avion disparu au dessus de l'atlantique.La France a pleurée un grand champion mais une légende est née!
@BLOODYBOY569 it was sugar ray robinson who killed someone watch his brightlights documentary.ray had dreamed he killed him and no one listened so they mad him fight and ray does what he said he did in his dream
lamotta only ever had one knockdown in his whole career! say what you want about his terrible behavior outside the ring, but the guy was one of the toughest and best boxers ever
wow, i love the movie raging bull. but to see him fight in real footage was great. i cant believe how this man could with stand all these punches and out of no where BANG!! all this energy and just knocks ppl out lol.
@xcentrik12 His rolling with the large majority of them. Jake Lamotta had very uderated defensive skills as shown in the video and an uncanny ability to roll with punches and lesson the sting in them. That combined with a great chin is what allowed him to do what he did.
Great video my friend, a fitting tribute. Can you tell me the jazz tune that starts around the 1:30 mark?

jake was a badass...
he had underrated skills too...
his trouble with weight affected some of his preformances and i think it tarnished his legacy a little

Just watched Raging Bull last night and its an amazing movie. The partnership of Scorsese, DeNiro and Pesci is almost as powerful as LaMotta
