He LIED about everything to save his own a** up until the day of the weigh in. He said he was 140 on Monday. He couldn't lose the pounds? Not even a single pound? He either didn't try or he lied. I'm assuming the latter. If it's impossible to expect him to make 135 then it should have been impossible for him to expect it from himself. He should have at least told his promoter, or Corrales, or someone so this didn't happen. Say he went to Corrales about 2 weeks ago and told him of his troubles, then Corrales' camp could have made a catch weight or something. Or just called the fight off before it got this far. But no. You can't not know that your body is going to be 5 lbs over the week of the weighin, that's just to much weight.
Exactly, it's not like he was 135 this whole time and all of a sudden he jumped to 140. He was 140 for a long time. His weight was being lost at a certain rate during training. He had to know that he probably wasn't going to make the weight. Look I'm honestly over this shit, bottom line, the guy didn't live up to his word. Corrales should move up to 140 and take Castillo's fight with Cotto. Corrales was making the most money, Corrales IMO is the bigger attraction. I would much rather see Corrales-Cotto than Castillo-Cotto. Although the Castillo-Cotto would be a barnburner as well.
Doubt it. Corrales is damaged goods right now, and it's just a matter of time how much longer he lasts. If Cotto loses to Malignaggi then Castillo won't get that fight anyway.

IF there ever was going to be a third fight, it should be at a catch weight, and Corrales should be allowed to fight at that weight once(while Castillo is suspended and can't be active) It's a win/win for Corrales since when he loses he's still the Lightweight champ.
