    Well, certainly his knockout average is unimpressive for a world-class fighter, but he did score his share of noteworthy knockouts, and repeatedly decked the durable Robinson during their series; LaMotta pretty clearly carried at least some pop in his shots.

    No one wanted Burley including Ray Robinson ... at least LaMotta fought most of them ... more than I can say for the rest ...Jake is highly under rated today .
