    He was when he fought him! Charles was 161 1/2lbs and 160lbsfor his fights with Burley and he was the no2 ranked MIDDLEWEIGHT in1941!


    But Lamotta wasnt a middle weight when he fought those I mentioned,he was a LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT
    And in 1952 ,contrary to what you stated, he was world rated no 5 at LIGHT HEAVY.
    You have been wrong on every single statement you have made,no one agrees with you and nobody likes you,because you are an arrogant,ignoramus,who won't be told anything.
    Go do one!

    Yes, he was the #2 ranked contender for Zale's title heading into that year.

    LaMotta was never a LHW, like Ezzard was never a MW.

    I know you don't like it that a MW beat a Satterfiels who beat your hero Williams, that's why you're trying to debate so much with me.

    Lamotta fought about 8 Lhv's several of them top ten ranked and he was ranked no5 himself.Guess what? He was a Light heavyweight for those fights!

    Ezzard Charles was the number 2 contender for the middleweight title.Charles had 30 fights at middleweight.


    Lamotta was not a middleweight when he beat Satterfield.

    You are without doubt the most stupid poster this Forum has ever had the misfortune to accommodate. Nobody debates with you ,they just correct your asinine claims,if you had even a modicum of brains you would be embarrassed and humiliated and leave,but you haven't,so we are stuck with you until you are banned again.

    Again Ezz was no MW and LaMotta was not LHW, size difference could be noticed.
    He was, he was 167 while LHW limit was 168.

    Like LaMotta had fights under LHW but he wasn't one like Ezz wasn't a Mw.
    But Cleveland Williams fans can't take it, that thier hero was beaten by a LHW who was beaten by MW.

    Care to explain why this fight poster from 1942 lists the words "Cincinnati middleweight contender" under Charles' name?

    Excellent post Mac.

    And, I am particularly fond of item 12.

    However, any hope of that actually happening, is just a pipe dream.

    I just showed you a fight poster from 1942 explicitly characterizing Ezzard as a MW.

    IDK WTF a "hsitorian" is, but I remember a discussion between Bert Sugar & Al Trautwig on the original Classic Sports Network (before ESPN acquired it) & Sugar referred to LaMotta as "really a LHW pulled down."

    You really are THAT dumb.

    I would say dumb as a post but that would be an insult to posts.

    The post quoted above exactly reveals your own (not anyone else’s) twisted and convoluted agenda - an agenda that drives you to LIE and DENY the truth.

    No one is “debating” you. Rather, they are repeatedly chewing you up and spitting you out.

    You’re an absolute glutton for punishment.

    Boxrec correctly lists the LaMotta vs Satterfield fight as being at LHW - with Jake actually outweighing Bob Satts - see below.

    One last thing - please refer to and abide by Item # 12 as clearly laid out in Mr Mac’s earlier post.

    Treat it with as much gravity as one of the 10 Commandments. AKA: Thou Shall Not Speak Stupidly.
