Jose Luis Castillo fails to make weight

[aristotlemoses]

its a shame. i think he should take some fights at 147 like the other guy said hed be a good name on some up and coming fighters resume, and he could probably still take some lower ranked oppostion up there. i think he'll still fight and try to mae some money.

[ElGranLuchador]

at least he cancelled the fight with bradley
he could make a career in 147 fighting andre berto former opponents

I know about his financial problems but he can't make weight anymore. What's he gonna do, move up to 147? I just can't imagine how he would fair against the elite up there. I can only think if Hatton put him away in 4 what Cotto, Cintron or Margarito would do to him. He's got to find an alternative. I truly do feel bad for the guy but it's really not in his best interest to keep doing this.

Who says Castillo must fight the elite fighters of the division? He could probably beat some top 20 or 30 opponents an earn enough to make a living. And if he's lucky, maybe he'll score one last big payday before he retires...

I would just hate to see him become a "stepping block" for up and coming fighters. Retiring as a journeyman would be a shame.

im sad, i still dont wanna believe it

Either hang it up or make weight.
No excuses.

well if thats what he has to do to feed his family then he would have to do it, The man is a fighter and a Known-name he would make money fighting the prospects of 147 or 154 without killing himself to make weigh.

Andre Berto would make dinner of him.

You bring up a valid point but why jeopardize his health? The buck's gotta stop somewhere. He's gonna start taking some real punishment soon and what if he ends up like Ali? That's not helping his family's or his own cause out.

His money situation is based on his poor choices. You can feel bad for his situation, but its his fault. That's three (maybe four) times he broke the rules. You just cant do it, simple as.
