I've always been impressed by LaMotta's balance, jab and defence. I do think his offensive weapons were limited though, mainly because his overhand right was not of a high quality. Was LaMotta naturally left handed? I remember reading an article about his trainer saying that it took ages for LaMotta to learn to straighten out his right hand.
