I disagree, or at least the evidence is mixed.

The fight before he met Robinson, LaMotta stopped Laurent Dauthuille in fifteen rounds in the fight of the year which included the arguably the finest moment of his career in defence of the middleweight title. The fight before that he thrashed Tiberio Mitri who was on a thirty fight win streak (one draw in there). He was anything but passed it, arguably absolutely primed - but it is true that post-Robinson VI, Lamotta was considerably weaker. It's not absolutely impossible that it was Laurent and not Robinson that finished him, but Lamotta was absolutely superb in one, two, five and six, as good as he's ever appeared on film in those rounds IMO.

So I think it was Robinson that finished him.

Either way, it doesn't matter because Robinson is still the best at doing boxing i've ever seen in that fight.

won't argue about srr coz we all see it.

lamotta wasn't his old self by that fight so i can't view it as the best win ever.

Off the top of my head I would say Leonard-Hearns and Robinson-LaMotta

Roberto Duran vs Esteban DeJesus III 1978, IMO Duran's best fight ever.
