    La Motta, Hagler had pretty good chins.
    Heavyweights, Chuvallo, McCall and honorable mention Rocky Sekorski

    Erratic Behavior's right, read the book and you'll get it. In LaMotta's own words "They made me look like a pussycat"

    The book Raging Bull is awesome, watch it. I recommend it.

    Haven't heard La Motta speak in a few years but the last time I did he was pretty damn old and I did not detect a trace of him showing the effects of all those shots he took. Strong chin, and stronger brain.

    No he wasn't.

    Apparently you are mixing Casino up with Raging Bull.
