    would anyone here say that as children they were abused? not sexually but bye reform schools, not nice living quarters, street fighting, and fathers that seemed to be rotten s.o.b.s? does anyone here have any family photos or mug shots of young rocky g. and young jake lamotta before they started fighting pro?they say that rocky and jake used to run together if so why does everyone love the rock but have bitter feelings about jake?

    Watch, "Somebody Up There Likes Me," then "Raging Bull," (which could have been alternatively titled, "Somebody Down There Fears Me.")

    If somebody was portraying you in your life story, would you rather have Paul Newman or Robert De Niro acting in the role?

    Graziano performed in Martha Raye's television show, and decades later they did a Polident commercial together. Jake would have beaten Martha's ass and been responsible for her needing dentures in the first place.

    La Motta also has the fixed fight and some other stuff going on. I guess Graziano had some of the same? Was it proved? Before my time, but maybe I am wrong.
