I never saw him fight, but DeNiro's portrayal was outstanding.

95 has to be some kind of world record....

for a boxer, especially one who took the kind of punishment Jake did. RIP.

Score one for nature (genetics) over nurture (lifestyle) when it comes to longevity.
Max Schmeling lived to 99.

Though he had about 35 fewer fights than LaMotta. (But you have to figure a fight against Joe Louis counts as more than one compared to fighting anyone else).
RIP

wow - to be honest, I had no idea he was still alive, and never would have guessed it, for the reason you say. Well - RIP to a very tough (if troubled) dude.
