he honstly pisses me off... he shits on his fans the way he lets him self drop inbtween fights..

i gotalotof time forcastillo the way he used to fight, the never ay die attitude.. but he was a "very good fighter" his last fight was nothiing to shout about.. ricky done well on domestic terms but when he stepped up he was nothing great

he beat the tunder, fair enough, but he hadn't fought in what? 2years +? personally an i willalways argue this light welter is a weight ricky should be fighting at the end of his carrer... if he kept in ture shape he would be fighting at 135...

the castillo fight, unill JLC shows he is in fantastic style i wont give ricky much credit... and this is from a guy who loves his home town fighters
Ricky would make 135 He debuted as an 18 year old kid over 140lbs, he has never been a 135 lb fighter, he does let himself go thats not effecting his ability to make weight though, i dont understand all these people like you who question his weight?? He has made weight everytime he has fought, whats happening now is his lifestyle seems to be catching him up in terms of doing 12 three minute rounds.
