According to a report in El Nuevo Dia , Jose Luis Castillo (60-9, 52KOs) is in the mix as a possible opponent for Miguel Cotto's return, which may not happen until June or July of next year. Castillo was at his best when he ruled the lightweight division several years ago, but he has been fighting at welterweight since 2008. He fought four times at welterweight in 2009 and won all four bouts by knockout. After two tough fights in 2009, against Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao, Cotto needs a confidence building fight upon his return.
Pacquiao used Castillo as a sparring partner to prepare for the fight with Cotto.
