Jake lived a long life...95

Considering the poundings he took as a boxer, lifelong smoking, being overweight, alcoholism, six wives.....he is a medical miracle

Wow a 95 year old former boxer. Very rare. He has some great genes and probably that sheer will power to survive. RIP Mr. LaMotta.


P.S This is almost as astounding as Keith Richards getting past age 30.
