Is Chico stuck?

[DiegoFuego]

He may have really screwed himself this time. Now he has no decent opponent to make money off of and he has been inactive since August. Not good, Chico. Not good at all.

Its a shame Corrales is one of my favorite fighters to watch. Who knowes though if Tszyu can get done with Hatton early enough he may get a late Fall Showtime fight with the Aussie. Only problem with that is Chicos syle and frame is taylor made for Tszyu.

He isnt stuck because he was getting screwed in the first place. He was facing alot of good fighters for chump change.

Corrales vs Castillo was the fight I was most looking forward to this yr. Obviously am not pleased w/ what has gone down.

Its ****ed up that he had to give acelinos promoter options and thats what killed this proposed fight with castillo. Now Diaz will get stripped and we wont have a unified champion at 135.
Diego should just fight the winner after taking a tune up and move up to the 140 lb division where he can make more big money fights then at 135.

[Arrington]

Didnt he just move up to 135 recently?

[The Fix]

he should have the final bout of the trilogy between he and casamayor.it should be good

[Arrington]

I'm quite dissappointed the Castillo fight never worked out. That would have been a helluva fight.

[whdempsey]

The Castillo fight will probably still get done at some point this year, but he'll have been inactive for much longer than I'm sure that he'd have liked. He can't be blamed for what happened here, and if there was ever a prime example for why a fighter should be involved in his own management, this past year has been it for him. He probably could have been fighter of the year in 2004 if he had been able to make a match in December or November.

It's a good thing you're not a manager.

Castillo is the champ at 135. If you need proof, buy yourself an issue of the Ring Magazine. Besides, Diaz would still be recognized as the IBF titlist.

A move to 140 would be the wrong thing for Corrales right now. If he can beat Castillo, then it would be a good idea for him to move up, but only when the dust has settled between Tzyu, Mayweather, Gatti and Hatton. Particularly if Mayweather is champ at that point.
