    Who is currently the oldest living HOF/ATG?

    Off the top of my head I would think Jake LaMotta is still the oldest living Hall of Fame/All Time Great boxer.

    He turned 93 years old last month.

    I like watching LaMotta vids. When a boxer has you watching his fights twice(with no circumstances), he's exciting. At least to me.

      Still can't believe Lamotta has no signs of brain damage. I mean considering how much he fought. He said in an interview, I think it's the one where Tyson is next to him, where he said he was slipping and rolling the punches otherwise he wouldn't sound so coherent today.

      Pretty amazing when you think about his life. He's still alive and seems okay for a 93 year old.

        I'm pretty sure Bernard Popkins fought LaMotta in the 40's. Back then he went by " California Jackie Wilson"

          Likely Lamotta.

          Harold Johnson is up there.
