    It's gotta be Lamotta, hard to fathom how this man has had such a long life considering how much punishment he took in the ring...

    Not a world champion, but a TOP fighter none the less. I was surprised to find little Johnny McGrory was still alive a few years ago, and I have yet to find anything further with regard to him dying.

    IF he's still with us he'd be about 96 or so.
