Graziano vs Lamotta on the street?

No one has answered the question. I'm guessing Graziano put it over Jake on the street when they were young.

In Rocky's book he only mentions Jake once as someone from his neighbourhood who won the title yet never left his house as he was paranoid that everyone was out to get him.

In Jake's book he makes a big deal out of seeing the Rock in juvie and how he was good friends with him before and by seeing Rock meant he was sweet in there.

I think Rocky was the legitimate street thug he was made out to be and had a bad rep in his city where as Lamotta seems to exagerate his rep on the street when younger, even though he is real ****ed up in the head. Rocky is in the minority as in most guys made out to be real animals and thugs when younger weren't as bad as some stories tell where in Rocky's case that isn't true.

If Rock told Jake to jump when a teenager he would have asked how high. Rocky seems to be right at the top of the food chain whereas Jake was a few rungs below.
