Was Robinson greater at Welterweight or Middleweight?

Many people would not view LaMotta as great because he was inconsistent. It depends how one defines greatness I guess. He lacked the consistency of a Hagler, Monzon, Roy Jones, etc.

The great Jake LaMotta beat very good and great boxers in his prime.

He beat Sugar Ray Robinson for sure -- despite being short, slow, unskilled, easily pummeled, and lacking in punching power. He was very tough -- even though Danny Nardico, another tough guy, knocked him down, beat him up real good, and made him quit in his corner.

I bet you I have seen a lot more footage of earlier lamotta footage than you. If you did you would have a different opinion.
Then again it's you,so you probably wouldn't.
