Jake Lamota weight

[mud19]

Its well known that he struggled making weight before fights so why did he not move up into another drvision?

LaMotta was only 5'8 and never had much power even at middleweight.

He did eventually move up to the LHW division and managed to defeat top LHW contender Bob Murphy in his last good fight but he was way over the hill by then...
