    The fact that LaMotta lived so long despite the number of fights and wars he had is amazing. And he wasn't some slick, defensive virtuoso who could avoid being hit. He was a fighter that didn't mind walking through punches to land his own.

    that’s probably the exact friendly argument they’re having right now in some meadhall in Valhalla. Other fighters are joining in on one side or another.

    Great fighter and great man, great LHW/CW and even okayish HW.

    5ft 6 short reach but awesome defense and good punch he had.

    R.I.P WARRIOR!

    RIP.

    2025 has became for former boxers what 2016 was for general celebrities.
