    I don't know why Paul Spadafora has never become a big name fighter. I know that he went to prison for a while, but he had a good record, 41-0-1. I think that his promoters must have been terrible, I seen on boxrec that he is making a comeback. They should put him in with a big name so he could at least get some credit.

    Because he keeps either getting arrested or injured. His March 31st fight has been postponed due to injury. The guy is a complete waste of talent.

    If a **** boxer can box Mayweather's ears off in the gym, then that doesn't say much for Mayweather.

    It's sparring. We all know what would of happened if they fought for real.

    No serious promoter is going to touch him. And that is saying something in a crooked and dirty sport like Boxing.

    The guy is finished.

    Actually, we don't. We can speculate. All we do know is that when they were in the ring, in the gym, Spadafora boxed his ears off. It isn't as if Mayweather wasn't trying, just because it was sparring. Mayweather lives in the gym and has way too much pride to allow something like that to just happen without trying. Besides that, there was all sorts of smack talk from Mayweather's camp about how Floyd would put it on Paul if they got up into the ring, which is why they even sparred in the first place.

    Now let's get back to the point. You called Spaddy a **** fighter. There isn't a **** fighter in the world that could outbox Mayweather. Not even in sparring.

    First and only time i seen Spadafora fight, was against a danish guy Dennis Holbaek in the late 90ers or early 2000! I remember he was quite good technical fighter, but didn`t have much punching power. I heard he was a pretty huge name in his hometown!

    That sparring session is now the reason Mayweather will not allow filming of his sparring by outside people.
