Legendary fighter - RIP.

RIP

Great fighter and one of the toughest ever

Whos the oldest living former world champ now then??

RIP. Great and iconic fighter, although not someone I would have wanted to spend much time with in his heyday.

why was he not a nice chap?

There are a lot of myths surrounding Jake LaMotta, the most obvious of which is that he took everything on his iron jaw. Watch a few of his fights and you will see a cute, punishing, immensely brave fighter who was not easy to tag. Jake LaMotta lived hard and he fought hard; he was something else.

'Raging Bull' is one of the best ever boxing books. Even better than the film, and that's saying something!
