Jake LaMOtta....one of the 5 best 160lbers ever?

That's a bunch of Raging Bull****.

I think I have him around 9. But 5 is way to high for Jake considering how deep the division is.

I think that Marcel Cerdan was greater than Jake....would have won a rematch....and would have been hell for Ray Robinson.

I agree with lamotta ranked #9 or #10 atg MW. He was great but that division is stacked with great fighters. Just being in the top 10 MW of all time is greatness, all 10 were amazing boxers.

Hell, if you're in the all time top 20 you were one of the greatest!

His resume cetainly doesn't proceed Lamottas.

Who should definitely be above him?

Hagler
Monzon
Hopkins
Robinson
Greb
Walker
Ketchel

Hagler
Monzon
Hopkins
Robinson
Greb
Walker
Ketchel

I don't feel all those have to be above Lamotta.

But;

Monzon
Greb
Robinson
Hagler
Fitzsimmons

I cannot see how Lamotta can be ranked above atleast those 5.

I've also seen compelling cases made for Freddie Steele.

I don't think Ketchel, Walker or Hopkins are greater.
