Fuck, sad day for sure.
I'll raise my glass for the man tonight ...

96 is a good run, especially for a boxer.

RIP

RIP.
I'll bet he was grateful that he lived long enough to see the greatest boxing match of all time

 

[DannyNL]

Incredible long life he had, over 100 pro fights and tanglings with the mob. All his friends and peers from his time boxing have been dead for 20-30 years or more.

RIP Jake, can't complain about living to 96 with the way he lived.

True that. He also seemed to have some measure of peace in his final years after his rocky road.

RIP. As far as I could tell, his mind stayed with him for most, if not all of that time.

 

[Shael]

That's a long life. R.I.P

 

[DeJulez]

Is he the last one from that era?
96 is a long time.

Wonder what his thoughts were on Modern boxing

 

[Noctilux]

Pretty incredible for a boxer, specially one with LaMotta's style, to live 96 years. He would have hit 125 if he had chosen MMA

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Long life for a boxer...

[Hagler]

Not really sad, 96 years is old. And impressive for a man whose job was to be punched and punch others in the head. Respect.

RIP, warrior.

RIP to an icon. That's a damn good run. I'm not even sure I want to make it that long.

Jake Lamotta was still alive?! I had no idea. That is incredibly old for a guy who was in some tough fights.

Insensitive spoiler.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. When I die, I want people to say "What? That's awful", not "Who? Wait, he was still alive? About time he died, I guess."

RIP champ.

 

[Necrocide]

Absolute titan of the sport. We could use a few more with his grit and determination, and not just in boxing. The would would be well served with men made of sterner stuff. Rest in peace.
