    With the trouble he has been having i personally think with his age and the amopunt of battles he has ad he should pack it in but he will probably resume his career up at welter

    who do you see him fighting next up there

    maybe someone like jesse feliciano but i think this is damaging for castillos reputation and health as i would see someone like feliciano being to big and fresh for castillo maybe he may still win but it will be hard for him up there against almost anyone who is at leats capable.

    I think he should either consult a nutritionist or move up. I don't know that he could win a world title at that weight though.

    He shouldn't... he would get beaten up like Corrales in the Clottey fight...

    He should retire but if he fights on he should be banned from every title opportunity at least for a year as he couldn't make weight again and didn't tell the WBC in time (he should've known a good 2 weeks ago that he can't lose any more).

    If hes too old to make 140 he's too old to fight full stop, he woul dbe crucified by anyone in the top ten at 147.

    Once a dicorce is finalised I think it is disgusting that the man has to keep on paying out.

    A man who has shed blood, sweat and tears for a fortune shouldnt have to be taking a beating to satisy an ex's handbag fetish... The whole system if ****ed!

    Its sad kuz he does really need to keep fighting kuz of $ issues with his ex. really wish he would retire though, dont think he could beat any of the top ten guys, probably take a severe beating.
