i met jake lamota when he was an old man in 2012 i think in his 90s i used to do sports memorabilia and i went up to a hotel in manchester  to get some stuff signed it was run by a company called all star signings  , he`d sit and chat to you while he was signing stuff still sharp at that age if you took your eye of him he`s scribble on your hand / arm with the marker hard to believe you were in his company , 

One of the toughest ever to lace the gloves up. 

It's astonishing that his brain took all that punishment without the severe damage you see in most boxers. 

His head must have been made out of granite.
