Incredible innings.

Probably had the hardest head of any boxer ever.. both in the physical and mental sense.

Absolute warrior.

R.I.P Jake LaMotta

Reunited with his two sons who he outlived by many years.

Incredible feats inside the ring, and an awful human being outside of it. He was definitely a troubled individual, no wonder he was the subject of one of the truly great movies of all time.

All things considered, he had a very good innings.

GGG.
La Motta has been knocked down and stopped.

Did well to get to 95. Thought he died years ago tbh. Will have to rewatch Raging Bull over the weekend. "You never got down Ray, you never got me down".
