Yes, amazing - but if it wasn't for the lifestyle and the beatings, he'd probably live to 130!

Jake LaMotta was a tremedous fighter but not the nicest of men by all accounts.

Lloyd Marshall was indeed a real classy fighter and often wore 'the cuffs' rumour has it.

i dont think we need to ponder IF marshall and the rest of the black murderers row wore "cuffs" - its a cast iron certainty, but then the majority of decent fighters in those days were involved one way or the other
