    All those vicious wars he was in, and he still lived to almost 100. He was built to endure and survive. One of my favorite boxers of all time.

      @UChUrmP7XPTJRTMX6_z_guPw Get fucked up this day? LoL. You don't know nor understand how good LaMotta is. He is more known for his chin but LaMotta in reality had far superior skills than most world champions from 154 to 175 today. If we can only make the prime LaMotta fought today's champion from 154 to 175 (yes, including Canelo and GGG), I am willing to bet my house on LaMotta.

    Another thing about LaMotta was that he had an incredibly tough, tough career schedule as to WHO he fought. The guy fought top 10 contenders, all time greats, and tough complete fighters throughout like: Sugar Ray Robinson, Jose Basora, California jackie Wilson, Fritzie Zivic, Lloyd Marshall, Bert Lytell, Tommy Bell, Robert Villemain, etc.
    That type of schedule was among the last of a certain type (when fighters had to fight against many other fighters with craft); the last gasps of the Golden Age.

    One of my all time favorite fighters! Definitely underrated defensively in my opinion, yes he did take punishment but he also rolled with a lot of shots. Hopefully this highlight successfully showcases that.

    • @shadowsnake8989
      @shadowsnake8989 8 лет назад +5

      +haNZAgod True. I suppose many people, myself included shouldn't assume that just because fighters like Lamotta can tank some heavy shots means they half to to get to their opponent. The solid chin helped but it was when it was coupled with good defense that it did the trick.

      I always thought Lamotta had underrated boxing skills from the reelz I've seen of him. hrs known as the "Bronx bull" n a brawler , but he wasn't, he boxed with pressure.

    • @danohara8485
      @danohara8485 8 лет назад

      kevin portillo I thought this. Compare his style to say Hatton who just bawls forward with very little head movement. Lamotta is actually quite cagey and has a low bent over stance perfect for rolling under punches and had a great jab. Firing double, triple jabs often

  • @isaacdebebe2224
    @isaacdebebe2224 2 года назад +11

    Man no one gives him credit on his defense and boxing skills. They just label him a brawler, probably because the fights that stand out are brutal wars. Jake Lamotta is one of the all time greats as far as toughness goes and skill. This video is eye opening to any casuals who didn’t know Lamotta’s defensive prowess’s

    • @justindantonio257
      @justindantonio257 Год назад +1

      He was more of a swarmer type of fighter or a volume puncher, he wore you down with body shots to the inside and he had a great jab he was able to score with in the (Saint Valentine's Day Massacre) against Sugar Ray Robinson.

    What bothers me most is that I can't seem to find video of the fight where LaMotta defeated Robinson. Everyone makes such a big deal of their last fight, which Robinson won, but it's like no one wants to highlight the time Jake beat him. I sure would love to see that fight.

    • @josephmelendez8370
      @josephmelendez8370 7 лет назад +19

      John Ribner Well it's because that fight took place in 1943. The earliest surviving film of Robinson, is from 1946, and they're really bad quality. The rest of the film either never existed, or was lost in time.

      LaMotta and Robinsons series was like Marquez Pacquiao in the every fight was a banger and arguable who won, the 5th fight was considered a robbery by most observers and the St Valentines Massacre is such a legendary performance for Ray because he dominated same as how Marquez Pac 4 is so legendary for topping off an ATG series

    Voted! I like the music! You could see Jake doing just what he said, he was "riding" with the punches. He made these other fighters look like novices or good fighters who grew desperate. They got so focused on trying to hit him, they left themselves open. He laid back and they eventually walked into his trap. He's like the Det. Colombo of boxing!

      +haNZAgod Do you think La Motta`s defense getting low underneath Sugar`s punches was the only defense that could work vs Ray while coming forwards? Calzaghe for instance is also a brilliant pressure fighter because he slipped punches so well coming forwards but I feel Robi could have caught Joe with a lot of counter right hands because he didn`t get underneath punches. Robin Reid replied to me on youtube saying Calzaghe had no answer to his counter right hands, but I think other great pressure fighters would have caught Ray a lot more than standing off I think maybe. 11 months ago.
