Corrales Suing Castillo for 2.4 Million and askin that he be suspended for2 yrs

Idealism and being naive' would be nice in a perfect world. But this world is far from perfect.

Being called naive makes me feel young. It allows life to continue being full of surprises. I'd rather be naive than jaded.

As far as idealism goes, there used to be a line that says, "Idealism like youth is sorely wasted on the young."

I'm glad somebody has pointed out that in my advanced age, having travelled far and wide, having watched so much pain and suffering along with a few unforgettable instances of triumph, having won some and lost some myself, I have not lost much of what I used to have. Naivete and idealism at 55. Though they're not one and the same, they're clearly something I like having.

Here's hoping that you're accurate in your observations. Thank you.

In the meantime, a couple of minor questions: Isn't the law founded on idealism? Aren't guarantees of rights embedded in laws codifications of ideas of Freedom and Human Rights? Or is thinking them to be so naive?

Why go to courts then if by doing so, one shall only deal with expressions of ideals and naivete? Why don't boxers--professed fighters as they are- settle their differences in the time-honored fashion that extra-judicial settlements were done in centuries past just so they won't have anything to do with matters that have some touch of idealism?

Speaking of "perfect world", I spoke not of one but of a world in the past which was far from perfect. I called it, "simpler times."

what the **** are you talking about?

Its funny that u say that, talk about bias, look at ur ****en avatar ****sucker, its obvious ur a castillo hater...if he cant make weight he cant make weight, ur not castillo and neither am I, so whos to say or get mad about someone else sayin he could or couldnt, nobody knows but him. so **** off, go suck hattons **** like u always do...

JLC should be fined & suspended for his OWN actions because ultimately he's responsible for making weight. And if he couldn't make weight he should've informed the Corrales camp like a true champion and professional. 2 years might be a little harsh but at least 6 months. He's gonna go down hard for this because of the first incident when his handlers where trying to cheat & got caught. He KNEW there would action taken against him if he didn't make weight & him & his camp deserve to be dealt with harshly because of this. He didn't live up to his end of his contract, bottom line & that's his fault. If he couldn't make weight then don't sign for the damn fight. All of this Corrales is a ***** talk is ******. The guy fights with his heart, took the 2nd fight knowing JLC had an advantage but went through it anyway.

2 years is kind of long for a ban.

Its not that Castillo didn't make weight. Its the fact that he kept it secret (atleast secret from Corrales) and attempted to fight anyway with the large weight advantage. If Corrales would've had a week or 2 notice he could've not drained and weigh-in at an equal weight.

It's Castillo's deception that leaves should be punished. Lets not forget that this is the SECOND time this happends.

BTW Corrales is not a ***** for wanting to get reimbursed for his work. He trained hard for months and accrued training camp bills during this time i.e. Room board, gym rental, sparring partners. Corrales deserves to be compensated but not at an amount larger than what he would've gotten had the fight actually been fought.

ok i can understand that corrales is very angry at castillo for not making weight. and the 2.4 million doesnt really suprise me, although it digusts me.

but requesting a 2 year suspension?! thats just ****ing ******! toney got hammered from all sides when he tested positive for steroids after that fight with ruiz. but he was suspended from boxing for 90 days and suspended for 2 years from fighting for the WBA title. its just the WBA title, there ARE other titles out there, so its not big deal, right?

but suspended for 2 years from BOXING?! for not making weight?!

this is my position: castillo is either lazy or a coward for not making weight. and corrales is a ****** whiner. i can understand him being upset and his need to complain about it. but now hes just being a ****ing whiney moron, asking for a 2 year suspension.

[Deeznuts]

Coralles wants the 2yrs suspension so he wouldn't have Castillo no where near the radar. Coralles is scared he nows that Castillo beat him like no other fighter has beaten him in his career.

i think floyd beat him a lot worse than castillo did.

[{BrownBomber}]

sue for money I understand, but the 2 year suspension is to much. I think it was clear to see that he cant make 135 anymore.Calling him a coward for not being able to make 135 is just plain desperate.

[Deeznuts]

I disagree. Just because Floyd taught him a boxing lesson and got a stoppage but Castillo was pounding his ass on that second fight. His whole face was swollen and he ended it with a KO.
