Jake LaMotta. Writer: Raging Bull. Jake LaMotta had one of the best chins in boxing history.

Jun 1, 2024 · Jake LaMotta (born July 10, 1922, New York, New York, U.S.—died September 19, 2017, Aventura, Florida) was an American boxer and world middleweight boxing champion (1949–51) whose stamina and fierceness in the ring earned him the nickname “the Bronx Bull.”
LaMotta rallied furiously in the 9th, 10th, and 11th rounds. "The fight followed the usual pattern (of the previous four fights between the two), Robinson flashing style in the early heats, then coasting when he could. Jake set out in pursuit at the opening bell and bored in with bulldog tenacity throughout."
