Jake LaMotta is recognized as having one of the best chins in boxing. He rolled with punches, minimizing their force and damage when they landed, but he was also able to absorb many blows. In the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, his sixth bout with Robinson, LaMotta suffered numerous sickening blows to the head. LaMotta did not go down. The fight was stopped by the referee in the 13th round, declaring it a TKO victory for Robinson. LaMotta was one of the first boxers to adopt the physical bully style of fighting, in that he always stayed physically close and in punching range of his opponent, by stalking him around the ring, and sacrificed taking punches himself in order to land his own shots. Due to his aggressive, unrelenting style he was soon dubbed The Bronx Bull by fans and journalists alike.

Ken Norton signed memorabilia
Name: Kenneth Howard Norton Sr.
DoB: 9 August 1943
Nationality: American
Division: Heavyweight
Kenneth Howard Norton Sr. born August 9, 1943, Jacksonville, Illinois is a former WBC Heavyweight Champion of the World. He is best known for his 12-round split-decision victory over all-time great Muhammad Ali, on March 31, 1973. Norton won a split-decision victory over Muhammad Ali in Norton's home town of San Diego to win the NABF Heavyweight Title in 1973. In this bout, Norton broke Ali's jaw, leading to the second defeat of five for 'The Greatest' in his career. Six months later, Ali avenged the loss when he beat Norton by a split-decision.
In 1974, Norton fought George Foreman for the World Heavyweight Championship, and was stopped in two rounds. In 1975, Norton regained the NABF Heavyweight Title when he defeated Jerry Quarry by TKO in the fifth round. Norton then avenged his above-mentioned 1970 loss to Jose Luis Garcia by knocking-out Garcia in round five.
In 1976 Norton would again fight Ali, who was now the World Heavyweight Champion since regaining the title with an eighth round knockout of George Foreman in 1974. Many observers have felt this was the beginning of Ali's decline as a boxer. In one of the most disputed fights in history, the fight was even on the judges scorecards going into the final round, which Ali won on both the referee and judges' scorecards to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. The judges scored the bout 8-7 for Ali and the referee scored it 8-6 for Ali. At the time of the third Ali-Norton bout, the last time a heavyweight champion lost the title by decision was Max Baer to Jim Braddock, and thirty-one years later Ali-Norton III was no exception. The January 1998 issue of Boxing Monthly listed Ali-Norton as the fifth most disputed title fight decision in boxing history. The unofficial UPI scorecard was 8-7 for Norton, and the unofficial AP scorecard was 9-6 for Ali.
In 1977, Norton knocked out previously unbeaten Duane Bobick in one round and beat Jimmy Young in a 15-round split-decision in a WBC title-elimination fight.
Following the Leon Spinks upset of Muhammad Ali for the championship on February 15, 1978, Spinks elected to fight a return bout against Ali rather than face the still dangerous Norton, the top contender. The World Boxing Council, which had mandated a Spinks-Norton bout for their championship, withdrew its recognition of Spinks as champion. On March 18, 1978, the WBC named Norton its champion by virtue of his win over Young. The WBC stated that they considered Norton's victory over Jimmy Young, which was sanctioned by the WBC as a title eliminator, a retroactive championship match.
In his first defense of the WBC title on June 9, 1978, Norton and new #1 contender Larry Holmes met in a classic fight. After 15 brutal rounds, Holmes was awarded the title via an extremely close split decision. The March 2001 edition of The Ring magazine listed the final round of the Holmes-Norton bout as the 7th most exciting round in boxing history. Holmes-Norton is ranked as the 10th greatest heavyweight fight of all time by Monte D. Cox, a member of the International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO). Holmes went on to become the second longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion in the history of boxing, behind Joe Louis.
