Good one, Kev. The other man to knock him down did so in a very fishy fight indeed.

Danny Nardico in the 7th and Billy Fox. La Motta took a dive in the latter to "ensure" he got a pop at the middlewight title.

That fight was against Billy Fox, and LaMotta didn't go down. In shae and fighting in or near to his natural weight J L was the hardest bastard who ever lived.

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad played the role of Billy Fox, and Coley Wallace played the role of Joe Louis (only guy to beat Rocky Marciano officially in a Boxing match; This was in the amateurs).
