    good film? raging bull ******. garbage movie.

    Lamotta himself was a strange fighter. strong as hell, but never really threw huge punches and concentrated on volume instead. I dont even think theres video of him at his best, either.

      I wouldn't say LaMotta was overrated, just misunderstood because of the movie. He wasn't a great puncher at all, but he also did not block all punches with his face and wasn't as slow as he is made out to be.

      LaMotta outworked his opponents with combinations and consistently punched to the body. The left hook was his favorite punch, and he threw it in numbers.

      My only criticism about LaMotta as a fighter (there's plenty of it as a man) is that he was often too much of a crowd pleaser, Jake would act as if he was hurt and then explode with punches, it was his trademark move, but sometimes it worked against him and cost him decisions.
      Not to mention he threw fights...

      LaMotta acts hurt against Dauthuille, this time it actually works:
