Jake LaMotta, the renowned Italian-American professional boxer, dominated the world middleweight championship from 1949 to 1951. Known as “The Bronx Bull” and “Raging Bull” for his aggressive fighting style, he was a relentless swarmer and slugger. LaMotta’s exceptional durability and chin allowed him to endure significant punishment, making him a formidable opponent. His intense rivalry with Sugar Ray Robinson, though mostly in Robinson’s favor, remains a memorable highlight of his boxing legacy. Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, LaMotta’s life story inspired the critically acclaimed film “Raging Bull.”
