he tried to get fights with herrera,rios,bradly, marquez and a few more names...and all they turned down...there is just nobody who wants to get brain damage from Ruslan .Dude gets critics because all boxers ducking him.

Didn't know Castillo was still fighting. Read the article like it can't be and was hoping it was a prospect with the same name.
This is just sad, Ruslan & his team should be ashamed of themselves.

castillo? is he putting down his walker, taking out his dentures and stepping into the ring as a punching bag?

[samouraï]

Jesus what is Ruslan doing? What a fúcking waste. Honestly didn't even know Castillo was still fighting. This is a disgrace.

Dude, he could have fought Likar Ramos and it would be a better fight than old azz shot to shyt Jose Luis Castillo.

Castillo said on Saturday that he was offered a fight in Russia and another in London.

this smells like ***** ! (Russian accent)"Too much speculation in boxing" - Ruslan has to win or we will be embarrassed" they probably made Castillo an offer he couldn't refuse or spoke Russian to him - for all he knows its just an exhibition..

Nobody criticised Provo, just his choice of opponent. Castillo is a steep drop in competition, what's the point? I hope they are just name dropping, but a beating in Russia is more dignified than selling tshirts in the parking lot, so it's probably true.

Eff all that "nobody wanted to fight Ruslan so he had to fight Castillo" Crap. This is Lebedev vs Roy Jones and Toney back-to-back in Russia, a much younger local making decent money at home taking target practice against an obviously washed up opponent with a name big enough to sell a few tickets. Easy KO money against a slow moving blown up lightweight who hasn't won a meaningful fight in almost a decade. Call it what it is.

Got to blame this era of duckers. Nobody willing to step up and fight Ruslan besides an old guy in need of money.
