I don't think Castillo was a gamer, in fact, I think it's a ridiculous call only based on the Corales rematch weight in fiasco.
While I think your critisicisms for the Quartey fight are harsh ( if not completely false), I basically agree. Let's not forget picking on Pac, when he was boxing hottest new commodity, even though he was several weight classes bigger. We kind of forget it right now because of the beating he took, but at the time, the fight was tagged as a cheap/fake superfight made for DelaHoya to look good and make huge $$$
Nah, what REED Said about Ike was ACCURATE...Dela WOULDN'T Come Anywhere Near Ike UNTIL Jose Luis Lopez DENTED his Chin 1st...AND Ike was OUT of the Ring for MORE than a Year (16 MONTHS to Be Exact) Before Stepping in the Ring w/Dela... REED:kidcool:
DLH didn't want to see Vargas for a long time, either. Never wanted any part of Wright, though he can't really be blamed for that (nobody did - high risk low reward fight)
