    All I know if LaMotta is overrated.

    He hardly beat any really GREAT. He was basically feather-fisted.

    He IS NOT Top 50 all time.

    I've always heard the fight was fixed by Frankie Carbo, who was in the Lucchese family.

    Marcel Cerdan was considered at the time to be a potential great fighter.

    Too bad the rematch didn't come off.
