Pour les articles homonymes, voir LaMotta.Giacobbe LaMotta, dit Jake LaMotta, surnommé The Raging Bull (« Le Taureau Enragé ») ou The Bronx Bull (« Le Taureau du Bronx »), en raison de sa puissance et de son ardeur au combat, est un boxeur américain, né de parents immigrés italiens le 10 juillet 1922 à New York, dans le Bronx, et mort le 19 septembre 2017 à Aventura en Floride. Champion du monde des poids moyens de 1949 à 1951, peu doué pour l'esquive, il savait encaisser les coups les plus violents, avant de contrer avec férocité ses adversaires. Aucun de ces derniers n'est arrivé à le mettre KO au cours des 106 combats professionnels qu'il livra. Sa vie fut retranscrite à l'écran dans le film Raging Bull en 1980 avec Robert De Niro dans le rôle du boxeur.Fils d'immigrés italiens, Jake LaMotta apprend, dès l'adolescence, la boxe dans une maison de correction, au Coxsackie Correctional Institute et est surnommé « The Bronx Bull » (Taureau du Bronx) à cause de son agressivité sur le ring. Son premier combat professionnel se déroule le 3 mars 1941. Il le remporte après 4 rounds, par décision de l'arbitre, contre Charley Mackley.Les deux années suivantes, il cumule un grand nombre de victoires et gagne la reconnaissance le 5 février 1943, en battant Sugar Ray Robinson au 10e round, par décision unanime des juges. C’est la deuxième rencontre entre les deux champions et la première défaite de Robinson en tant que professionnel. Ce combat est élu surprise de l'année Ring Magazine. Au total, LaMotta et Robinson s’opposent à six reprises. Malgré la forte combativité qu'il oppose à la technique de Ray Robinson, LaMotta ne remporte que la deuxième des six rencontres.
