Jake LaMotta

Giacobbe La Motta (born July 10, 1921), better known as Jake LaMotta, aka 'The Bronx Bull', is a former boxer who was world middleweight champion and whose life was as controversial outside the ring as it was inside it.

Boxing records

LaMotta, who compiled a record of 83 wins, 19 losses and 4 draws with 30 wins by way of knockout, was the first man to beat Sugar Ray Robinson, when he dropped Robinson in the first round and outpointed him over the course of ten rounds during the second fight of their legendary six bout rivalry. LaMotta lost five of those. In 1948, he was knocked out in four rounds by Billy Fox. The fight with Fox would come back to haunt him later in life.
