Reason 5 - Perfect Timing ! Say Pacquiao knocks out mosley which he should do, and mayweather defeats an unbeaten southpaw a few months later. This would make floyd p4p better than pacquiao,

It'd be a crap fight.

However, if it's in preparation for a Pacquiao fight, and it's announced that the fight will happen, then I'll be thinking too much about that to really care that much about what a joke a Spadafora fight is.

He gets no credit though for beating a guy who was last relevant about 8 years ago.

Utter tosh.

Pacquiao fighting Mosley is a joke.

Mayweather fighting Spadafora is a joke (to say the least).

I could give a **** if Mayweather can beat a southpaw or if Pacquiao can do better against a shot, **** Shane than Mayweather did.

Stop tuning up and fight!

Only a floyd hater would justify this fight.

Everyone else can see these two are on completely different levels.

I swear to god, the I think Floyd Mayweather paid someone to write this. I'd say it was one of the mayweather clan, but I dont think any of them are actually literate other Floyd Jr. And his vocabulary isnt that good

First of all I expected Mayweather to pick a better opponent and am still hoping he chooses to fight someone else instead, but lets look at this in terms of Mayweather's point of view and it actually starts making sense.

*Reason 1 - Ethnicity! When's the last time Floyd fought a white american fighter? His last few fights have been against blacks and latinos, the closest was hatton but he is british and a brawler. Now i know this may not be important but since hopkins was talking of pacquiao not fighting african americans the same could be said with floyd with white americans. So if he has another white american on his record after beating everyone he has, it will look good and silence any ethnical doubters.

*Reason 2 - Southpaw! I believe this will be a tuneup fight for Manny Pacquiao for late 2011. There is no better way to prepare against manny than fighting a southpaw which spadafora is. Therefore eventhough at the moment it seems like this fight maybe a waste of time, in a few years time it would have made sense as a tune up fight for manny seeing as Paul is a southpaw.

*Reason 3 - Money! Spadafora infact is not a big name, and just recently hit rock bottom, what he wants now is one BIG chance because he needs a big payday and more importantly not just to prove the world he's the best but to prove to the world he is still relevant in hope to secure more big fights. Therefore his purse for the mayweather fight maybe very small but in terms of what Paul needs it would be very big, which also means that floyd will be making ALOT of money fighting him, which in actuality benefits all parties involved.

Reason 4 - LEGACY! I believe this is the most important reason. Mainly because it will help floyds legacy in 15 maybe even 20 years down the line. Now we know Spadafora is an unbeaten fighter and in the future if we see after a years lay off floyd came and defeated a fighter who nobody else could beat and had a brilliant amatuer record, it would make floyds resume so much better. Now some may say that spadafora has fought noone and is a bum, but you have to realise that in 20 odd so years time that information would probabably be pointless because after this fight with floyd he will be fighting more top names making his resume even better and could also retire as a really good welterweight of this era. Now that would make his legacy greater and not only because of that, but because of when you compare it to what Pacquiao was doing at the same time, which was fight a nearly 40 year old mosley after mayweather embarressed him a year earlier. So it seems like floyd has the upperhand in that situation.

Reason 5 - Perfect Timing ! Say Pacquiao knocks out mosley which he should do, and mayweather defeats an unbeaten southpaw a few months later. This would make floyd p4p better than pacquiao, and also make floyd the real cashcow, therefore in negotiations of any fight floyd will have the bigger say for e.g. enter 2nd in the ring against pacquiao which physiologically will be very beneficial.

Now having said all of that, I wouldnt really mind seeing Floyd fight Paul, because atleast we get to see Mayweather back in the ring and because it will lead to the fight we are all looking for, which is Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

What are y'all thoughts on this?:think

You mean the other way around, right? The only ones who are justifying this fight are the Mayweather fans.

I like the part outlining how Floyd beating Spadafora will move him back to the top of the P4P lists because he'll be beating a southpaw and how taking Spadafora's cherry will enhance Floyd's his legacy in 50 years. That was well thought out

I'm not one to argue with you on what YOU would like to see. If you're willing to pay for or watch Floyd fight Ray Charles then that's your business. In my eyes the only somewhat of a hype Floyd can scrape from Spadafora is the controversial sparring video. If Floyd beats him he can say the sparring session is irrelevant and end all speculation that Spadafora can give him a run for his money. But that's a reach.

Floyd is caught between a rock and a hard place. He needs a tune up but there aren't anymore Juan Manuel Marquezes out there. The best he can do is use Ray Leonard's comeback to fight Hagler as a source of inspiration. Either that or hold a press conference to inform the public that he promises two fights before the year is over: one against Spaddy (or a softy) and the other against PACQUIAO
