    ever get a shot at the light heavy title? robinson got beat by maxim and lamotta had beaten murphy who got a shot so why not jake? he was definitely on the comeback trail.also could he have beaten maxim and how long would he have held the title if he won it?

    Didn't Danny Nardico beat LaMotta in that time period? If so, that probably eliminated any chance he had at the LHW belt.If he had managed to beat Maxim, a less than 5% chance, he wouldn't have held on to the belt long.
