Heres an interesting picture of Jake and Joe together. I had heard from different sources that Jake always wanted to fight Joe but was obviously never able to. I can't recall seeing this picture for some reason, so I thought I would post it.

Well not only that, it looks like both men after a fight, or traning. Did they one time spar together or something haha. We are just gonna have to wait for the guys who know about Boxing of the old days.Comment

compair that picture of joe louis to the one that fought around the time this picture was takein and if you see a difference you'll know ...frankly i dont buy it because its only signed by lamotta ...poorly might i add while
and another thing if you notice jake is kinda looking forward in a daze like hes punching a punching bag
while joe louis is looking right down but i dunno you'd have to compair picturesComment

I wouldn't know if the photo is legit or not, Stinger, although if it is real, it certainly looks like it was taken in either 1946 or '47 (LaMotta looks youngish in it, and Louis looks like he did in the year or two right after the war), and my best guess is that it was taken at Stillman's Gym in New York while Louis was putting the final touches on his training for one of his title defenses that would take place in that city...I didn't check myself, but some cross-referencing might show that LaMotta also fought in New York at around the exact same time as one of Louis' title defenses in those years.Originally posted by Southpaw Stinger View PostComment
