    Robinson himself said he wasn't a puncher naturally, it was the punches they didn't see that he scored KOs with, mostly. The punches he was hitting LaMotta with weren't the ones Jake didn't see coming. I can come up with tens of fights where you could see a fighter take a terrible beating and who actually lasted the distance, and weren't out on their feet like LaMotta was.
    Even light-hitting Dauthuille had him on *****-street before he got too careless at the end.

    That's what he said himself. But, of course, boxing fans know it better than the fighter himself.

    Clip of what? Of Robinson saying he's not a puncher naturally? That's coming not from a clip, but from a book by a guy who interviewed Robinson about this. 'The Big Punchers' by Reg Gutteridge.
    Or if you mean LaMotta on *****-street vs Dauthuille, before the rallies to stop the Frenchman, it's an easily obtainable video, as a standalone clip or in multiple documentaries.

    You know it from what sources? From that Fullmer KO? But that was exactly the case I described - a punch Fullmer didn't see coming.

    I can't see anyway for Lacy to win this fight. He's durable but I think LaMotta would stop him late.

    Ever heard of Irish Bob Murphy, I wonder? Murphy was one of the hardest-hitting light heavyweights alive, possibly one of the hardest-hitting of all time, and had a very high knockout percentage, which should make Mr. Krieg happy, and was considered the heir apparent to the light heavweight championship. He pelted a well-past-his-prime LaMotta with some of his best shots for seven rounds in their first fight and couldn't put him down even once, and LaMotta beat him in the rematch. Bob Satterfield was one of the hardest hitters alive and blasted out multiple big-name heavyweights, but was unable to floor LaMotta despite dealing out a great deal of punishment to him through seven hard-fought rounds.
    LaMotta probably had the absolute best chin in the history of boxing, pound-for-pound. I feel very confident in saying that Jeff Lacy would not knock him out.

    Lasting 12 rounds with Joe Calzaghe is far more impressive than having a few close fights with Sugar Ray Robinson -fullstop-

    LaMotta was staggered in the very first round vs Murphy by a straight right, but the most damage was done in the last three rounds, not seven, and he would have floored LaMotta had the latter tried to come out for eighth round.
    Both Murphy and Satterfield were very poor boxers. To know what I mean, Earnie Shavers failed to knock out Vicente Rondon, does that mean he has a top-notch chin too?
    Joey Maxim beat all three, Robinson, Murphy and Satterfield, while being a natural light heavyweight, same as LaMotta. Guess that makes him stand even higher than the Bronx Bull.
    LaMotta has been fighting mostly smaller men, which allowed this legend of his chin rise to unprecedented heights, while there are plenty of fighters who had a chin just as good or better than his.
