Ive heard that too. They both were arum fighters, mexico aint that far from vegas. They probably did spar at some point
Floyd has called manny a gud fighter in the past so wats the big deal. And dont belive the morales rumour. Hes smaller, slower and not as skilled as floyd. And i saw spadafora spar floyd and floyd made him look lik a fool, completely had fun with him.
I know, alot of posters havent seen a young erik morales or even boxing..so they just assume NO CHANCE IN HELL is that possible...Morales was very tricky lol
According to Shane, Floyd also once told him after a fight that when he gets up in the ranks, he (Floyd) would like to be just like him (Shane). If Floyd could only have half the balls that Mosley have, he may have gotten the Fighter of the Decade of which he's been bitchin' about recently.
I heard the same rumors. It was a writer who watched them spar. Then interviewed Morales after the sparring session. I believe Morales told him "I would give PBF a good fight" Its not really hard to imagine though. A healthy not weight drained Morales was a monster. He had long reach so his jab would have worked well against PBF and also his straight right had plenty of powers and was very quick back in the day. All weapons that work well against PBF.
money used to love watching manny fight, he only started his trash talking when manny started fighting at floyd's weight.
Floyd has always been jealous of El Terrible's reputation as a warrior and an exciting fighter while his reputation was the total opposite.
If you watch the background closely you'll see a water bottle flying towards the general direction of Floyd around the time of the first knockdown :rofl
Yeah it could have been a great fight at super feather. But again I will favor Floyd, you cant justify anything by sparring rumours. You think Spadafora would have beaten Floyd in a pro fight?
