    Jose Luis Castillo

    I hear the guys is supposed to fighting in few weeks in Mexico against an unknown opponent yet to be named. What's your thoughts on this guy? Do you think he is competitive enough to compete for another championship or should he just hang em up? I think he's never been the same since losing to Hatton and his issues of making weight.

    JLC has been relegated to "gatekeeper" of the welterweight and junior middleweight divisions. He's a shot fighter but unfortunately he still boxes to make a living. I don't think he'll ever fight for a meaningful championship title ever again...

        I think Castillo's been shot since before the Hatton fight. I think a prime version of Jose Luis beats Hatton. The guy stayed at lightweight too long and engaged in too many wars. Great fighter to watch in his prime though.

        It's a shame he's still fighting due to money issues.

              His fights against Corrales were the last time Castillo fought at an elite level. That war really took it out of him.
