A movie has been done about his life, “Raging Bull, 1980), directed by Martin Scorzese and with Robert De Niro, consideraed one of the best movies of the eighties. The worst enemy of this legendari champ, didn't are fists of other boxers but indeed the kilos that the champ were able to gain in too little time.

This was the real nightmare for this champ, it was not got KO.
Jack was unlucky: he was able to gain more than thirty kilos, and it suffered to remain under seventy kilos weight. It usa not useful for himm to change weight category, for one heavier category. In that category he had found stronger adversaries, and he was too much light for that, nevertheless he was less heavy. Surely sometimes he got heavyer to fight with Maximum Weight category.
