Pic of Castillo Laughing at the situation

[ferocity]

So Ali cheated once, and now the door is open for Castillo to disrespect the integrity of the sport now? I dont get it

what you should get is that this happens and it has happened in the past, nothing new here....... and castillo didn't cheat...newsflash the fight didn't happen....i dont' see how you can try to call hiim a cheat if the fight didn't happen

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Why is everyone saying the guy cheated? He simply could not make the weight and had no business making the fight at 135. Corrales refused to have the fight at 140, he wanted the fight at 135...they said it in interviews on this site right after the second fight. Corrales wanted the fight at 135 because he knew damn well Castillo would kill himself to get down there and he would have the advantage. At the same time Castillo knew he would by far be the stronger man at 140 and thats why he wanted the bout at 140. They should have had a catch weight. Corrales will look bad if he faces Hatton next...AT 140. Hatton was at the weigh-in to scout, he wants the winner and Corrales is likely. Hatton is stronger than Castillo and if he takes a chance on Hatton, I dont see why there could not be a catch weight in the first place. Shaw said after the second bout, 135 pounds or nothing. Castillo was never going to make 135, he should have never signed the contract.

i dont think hatton is stronger than castillo
naturally bigger yeah but i dont think hes stronger
itd be an interesting bout cause of hattons high workrate which i dont think castillo could keep up with so he would have to slow hatton down in order to win

unlike hatton castillo has fought and won legit at welterweight by knockout too

"his last two debacles at the scales have been very damaging", yeah!, only if you are rooting for corrales to win.

OK, from now on its OK for megafights to fall apart 1 day before the fight because one guy doesnt make weight.

Ferocity, reply to this part of the post only. Here is my challenge. You explain to me and everyone here how Castillo's failures to make weight and the subsequent cancellation of the fight for breaching the contract is not bad for the sport of boxing.

i got the answer

a fighter aka chico corrales wasnt literally killed in the ring which wouldve been much worse for boxing than this

I'd like to think more then us hardcore boxing fans are aware of this fight and really excited about this fight... but reallty is probably only us hardcore boxing fans and regular boxing fans are really excited about this fight, of course a share of newbie fans of boxing are probably aware of this fight, but this fight ain't mainstream -meaning its in the daily newspapers..... the regular joe may be thinking "oh, another overhyped fight" unawhare if thier classic fights...... im saying this cause us true boxing fans are going to be the huge percentage of views and what happend us the fans are aware that this type of **** happpens and this has happened in the past so we will forgive and forget and if the vic fight turns out to be a really good fight...all is forgotten for now.


but I understand why many people were very eager to view this fight, i was one of them, but to say they would leave the sport or that this hurts the sport, i don't think it does, did the tyson inccident hurt boxing? no


we are in a sweat time to be a boxing fan, everybody is fighting everbody.....larios a jr. featherweight is challenging pacquiao at jr. lightweight.....hatton a jr. welterweight challenged collazo at welterweight.....mosley a welterweight....what im trying to say is if everybody has no problem in moving up in weight and challenge bigger fighters....then more then anything as a fan i should be mad at corrales for not stepping up and fighting castillo.......corrlars has examples of where the smaller fighter fought the bigger fighter and won, as is the instance of mosley defeating vargas and soon.. larios defeating pacquiao

this is nothing new in boxing, and as many have said before, any press is good press, and **** happens, what better pay-back then to curse castillo and then still challenge him.....I see no loser here and they will go on to bigger and better things and at the end we may see these guys fighting each other again

[LostGuy]

ill die of laughter if they schedule a fight for 140 or 147 and castillo doesnt make weight

corrales was looking for an out and he got it
way to go castillo you gave him an excuse
u lose

[kadyo's]

Time for castillo to move up and look for other fights. His interest is to fight chico at 135 but his body says no!

It will take a long time before his career can recover from this debacle and he is not getting any younger.

another pic of this loser making a mockery of the situation

hell laughing was the only thing that stopped him from hell maybe slashing his throat....ucking punk

[joeytrimble]

the thing that scares me is how big of a roar the castillio fans made over the mouth peice and now someone comming in overweight to there advantage does nothing for them...they dont get pissed or nothing its a natural thing to them...how hipocritical is that!
