    Quoted from the "quick jabs" article.

    In addition to Castillo, others must be held accountable for the weigh-in fiasco. This incident also falls on the shoulders of Gary Shaw and Bob Arum in association with the WBC and the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Diego Corrales’ safety was a focal point during the June 2nd fight cancellation. However, the well-being of a fighter who can no longer make the 135-pound weight limit was overlooked.

    In light of Jose Luis Castillo’s “disgraceful” failure to make weight, let’s look at other disgraceful moments in boxing history:

    -Phantom knockouts and fixed fights

    -Hitting a fighter with two illegal punches and instigating a 30-man battle royal

    -Biting another fighter’s ear off

    -Controversial ringside scoring

    -Losing a championship bout and allowing the former champion to retain his world title

    -Countless number of scorecard discrepancies

    -Using banned substances to gain an unfair advantage

    -Continuously fouling an opponent and setting off an arena-wide riot

    -Stripping a champion of his world title for monetary/political purposes

    -Big name promoters bribing sanctioning bodies to manipulate the championship rankings

      The type of guy you hear calling Castillo a cheat is the type of guy you know isn't worth a second of your thought when it comes to boxing discussion.
