I'll say that I had probably a little to much to drink when I wrote that, Lamotta is definitely an ATG and he does have a good resume. With that said, I stand by my point, people only really remember Lamotta for his fights with Robinson, maybe a few will recognize Cerdan's name. Living in the SRR era doesn't detract from your legacy, probably even gives it a boost, but you can't give a guy credit for losing five times.
beyond that, we can't just act like guys from the past are invincible. Lamotta was a brawler with a chin made of steel and good punching power, but he could be outboxed. There's no need to act like if you just put him in a time machine and took him to the modern day that he would just annihilate the top ten in every division without anybody even being competitive with him.
