Jose Luis “El Temible” Castillo: The Big, Bad Mexican.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By now, everyone has said and written their piece about Jose Luis Castillo and how he single-handedly dealt the Sweet Science’s honor, fighters, fans, and networks the biggest metaphorical slap in history. How his lazy, cowardly, face-stuffing, unprofessional, conspiracy planning ass just decided that preserving any semblance of a legacy he was in the process of forging was not worth the pain of making weight. A “fear” apparently took over his once revered “warrior heart” and he was not willing to meet Diego “Chico” Corrales on even terms.

Very well-written, logical, and thoughtful article.

Mr. Martinez needs to do some more writing. It's not bad at all. He's right on point about the reasons Castillo is being crucified.

Why did we not hear such vehement outbursts a mere three months before when Castillo made the same transgression in failing to make the weight limit for the Rolando Reyes fight in El Paso, Texas?



thats a very good question

It is simple: the chances of watching Castillo partake in a murderous bloodbath against Reyes were slim-to-non-existent. It is apparently only acceptable to fail to make weight when the risk of life and limb is unlikely.

Can anyone really keep a straight face and say that they believe Jose Luis Castillo is a coward, liar, and a cheat? If your answer is yes, then the thirst for blood means more to you than logic and reason. And the logic and reason behind this is simply that Castillo could no longer physically make 135-pounds due to his age and his body’s decision to stop losing weight.

I do agree with Bob Arum in regards to being “mortified,” but my mortification comes from the fact that we as fans and scribes are willing to so carelessly destroy a fighter in Castillo who has faced the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Cesar Bazan, Stevie Johnston, Steve Quinonez, Juan Lazcano, Joel Casamayor, Julio Diaz and is always looking to battle top-tier competition.

Let’s just forget about all of the great fight memories he has given our beloved sport over the course of a sixty-two fight career and send him into oblivion simply because his body was unable to deliver on June 3, 2006, and we did not get our thirst for carnage satisfied.

Finally!! Someone with the ****en balls to tell it like is. Great article! And once Castillo is back in the ring i hope he goes on a ****en terror for all the trash talking ****s that turned their back on him! Thanks for this article, great article!

Exactly! And those of us that seen the fight know that reyes was not ko'd in the fight! In fact the few toe to toe exchanges that happened, reyes held his own with the over the weight limit castillo!

Truth be told Castillo was going to ko Corrales!

I respect corrales but i just don't like to hear the idea of him sueing for money that he could have got if he went on with the fight.

guy trys to make weight ...cant ... knocks the guy out cold

takes a fight agian at the same weight KNOWING he cant make weight...

but what he didnt know was that he would be punished this time ...see i bet he thought he could get away with just a few fines and a slap on the wrist...he came in 5 ****ing pounds over the weight limit ...after KNOWING he couldnt make it in the first place ... why waste the peoples time? if you cant make weight why fight at that weight when you know the fights gonna be cancled anyways?

i mean i dont think hes a joke or anything but is there a rightful answer other then "well they said he'd get paid so he took it wouldnt you! " because if you know you cant make weight the fight dosnt go and you dont get paid! so thats invalid alltogether! unless he thought they'd let him get away with it agian

so keep toiling in your fantasys about how the 3rd fight would have happened because it aint gonna happen your boy couldnt belly up to the bar

Anybody that is still backing up Castillo is a ****tard.
RunWithKnives is one of them, he's one of the bigest ****tards and snorts ******* in his mom's basement when he has no friends.
He's still 25...I'm moving out in 2-3 weeks, a few days before I turn 18....Get a life man!
