<p><b>Giacobbe</b> "<b>Jake</b>" <b>LaMotta</b> (July 10, 1922 – September 19, 2017) was an Italian-American <a href="/wiki/Boxing" title="Boxing">professional boxer</a> who was world <a

Nicknamed "<b>The Bronx Bull</b>" or "<b>Raging Bull</b>" for his technique of constant stalking, brawling and inside fighting, he developed a reputation for being a "bully"; he was what is often referred to today as a <a href="/wiki/Boxing_styles_and_technique#Pressure_Fighter" title="Boxing styles and technique">swarmer</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Boxing_styles_and_technique#Brawler" title="Boxing styles and technique">slugger</a>. </p><p>Due to his hard style of fighting, LaMotta often took as much as he dished out in an era of great middleweights. With a thick skull and jaw muscles, LaMotta was able to absorb incredible amounts of punishment over the course of his career, and is thought to have one of the greatest <a href="/wiki/Chin_(boxing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chin (boxing)">chins</a> in boxing history. LaMotta's six-fight rivalry with <a href="/wiki/Sugar_Ray_Robinson" title="Sugar Ray Robinson">Sugar Ray Robinson</a> was one of the most notable in the sport. Although each fight was close and LaMotta dropped Robinson to the canvas multiple times, LaMotta won only one of the bouts.
