Official 'Jose Luis Castillo should be banned from boxing' thread..........

[MRMANICK]

He should be suspended from anywhere from 6 months to a year. And if he still gets to fight cotto or hatton in his next fight Corrales should get half off that future purse.

[cockey cockney]

JLC has really let me down....I expected better from him this time and i dont think its fair that he can just move on to bigger and better things before legitimately beating Corrales.

My point exactly mate - no way he should be allowed to fight Cotto or Hatton while the only professional in this whole scenario, Corrales, is left pissing in the wind - that's why I say ban or suspend him.

mate spot on.

[Gandalf]

You are going off of emotion. Consider that Castillo has had HUGE trouble making 135 since before he even fought Mayweather and then you're gonna accuse him of cheating the scale? For all you know he may have tried his hardest to make 135 and his body just won't do it anymore. He just can't make 135 anymore. I don't think he cheated at all.

if he cant make the weight then he shouldnt sign up for the fight. he has had trouble in the past and deluding himself that he can make weight helps noone....

its very dissappointing, i have no qualms with him facing severe penalties for this....one time i can tolerate, but twice i cant....

A sad day. He's cheated Chico, he's cheated his promoter, he's cheated his fans and his team. If he was struggling with weight, then he was struggling with weight. But maybe he could have said something 4 weeks ago and given Corrales a chance to go up in weight also or to cancel the fight. To wait until the weigh-in to admit you can't make weight is a travesty.

well said

castillo could have said something sooner....5 pounds is a heck of a lot of weight on these smaller guys and to miss weight by that much is a scandal, and its not the first time.....

Plus it's thrown a right bloody spanner in the works for my Saturday night

EXACTLY hahaha

I was going to have people over for this fight. Last time I had people over was for Calzaghe - Lacy...I wanted this one to be a bi less of a disappointment. Guess not.

[squealpiggy]

The undercard could be a bit of a blinder though. Maybe Corrales could do like a boxing booth thing. Anyone who fancies a shot step right up!

[TyBuff]

What really gets to me about this whole thing is that the entire time JLC has been telling people to get off of his back about the weight issue, that he had it under control. UH what the hell happened? He himself said that on monday he was at 140, and he couldnt lose 5lbs in 5 days? I understand if you cant make weight anymore, but if he has been having problems with this weight since the Mayweather fight then his promoter is not looking out for his best interest. The Mayweather fight was in 2002 it has been almost 4years that he has been "having problems making this weight" IMO something is not right, either his people and or him, just plain shady.

yah! castillo and his people are shat. he should have moved up in weight a long time ago. what are these people thinking?

[Wacko3205]

He should be suspended from anywhere from 6 months to a year. And if he still gets to fight cotto or hatton in his next fight Corrales should get half off that future purse.

I kinda agree here.

That's two fights that he's put the futz on with Corrales & it cost the viewers this time.

Fwock him...I had quite a few people coming over for that shat tomorrow night...I guess...Draculavinian will have to do...or whatever that fwocks name is...

Vic Darchinyan...that's it...guess that will have to do.

[bigragu]

He cheated when he signed the contracts Starr.


He cheated when he had his corner man try and lift the F****** scale.



The man is a disgrace, period.



Yesterday he says the weight won't be a problem - today he's F****** 140.



BAN HIM. How do we even know he made weight for any of his fights??



The guy is a disgrace and should never be allowed to fight again. A ban of 2 years at the very least. Completely unprofessional.

I agree with the ban..but maybe just for 1 year....and a huge fine....something in the 1 million range....how much money was lost because of his irresponsible actions??....he owes Corrales big time!!!!

LMFAO!

[El Gamo]

He's cheated Diego Corrales a fight he has been training so hard for and he has cheated us fans who were thinking this could be yet another classic.On top of that,all throughout training etc in interviews,he kept on stating that making the weight would be no problem AND all he had to do was lose 2 pounds!! No matter who you are that is not that difficult!
I think he should be punished heavily too. However,I still see him fighting Cotto at the end of the year,maybe Arum will minimise his match fee or something?

[Scrap]

Just a point, could Corrales claim loss of earning out of this. I think in law he has a case
