    Super Lightweight,

    If you make the weight, you can come in at any weight you want.

      He had three fights at 154, you could tell he was better there that quick? Even tho, I heard he fought DLH at 154, because DLH wanted to fight upbove Welter, tho looking at the record it says Welter.

        What makes me think that Castillo had no intention of making weight is that when ever he fails gets EXTRA time to sweat it out he comes back at THE EXACT SAME WEIGHT or HIGHER, I mean if you were trying to make weight you would've seen that he lost a pound or half a pound SOMETHING but he doesn't try and make weight because that would've weakend him.

        There is also no RIB INJURY for Castillo so the Castillo fans can't say thats why he didn't make weight.

        In my estimation Castillo must've thought that he Corrales would've fought him anyway OR that even if the fight was canceled he had a big payday with Cotto.

        Even the most ardent Castillo fan had to lose a modicum of repect for him.

          vargas and reid are some of his biggest wins and they took place at 154. sure there were lowb lows but he did win those fights

            Cotto came in 155 pounds from being a lightwelterweight, Castillo came in 155 pounds, from being a Superfeatherweight.
            No. Castillo fights at lightweight. He never went from 130-155 in one night; not on record. And superfeatherweight is 130, not 135.

            Also, what is your point, Greatest?

                Whocares. Fact is, both Castillo and DLH are part of this new trend, of starting at Superfeatherweight, and than ending up at Middleweight, who Floyd Mayweather is apart of too. Same goes for Hector Camacho. Boxing needs to make it clear that below Lightweight is for little people. I mean if your a big guy, you should ****ing eat something like a man.

                  Castillo came back after 2 hrs and still weighed 139.5. He could not take off any more weight.

                  After that, Gary Shaw decided to call the fight off instead of giving Castillo the additional 2 hrs to lose 2 lbs.

                      Do you think Castillo would have lost that 2 pounds in 2 hours?
