Reasons why Fighting SPADAFORA actually makes SENSE...!

techks · Mar 27, 2011

I like Floyd as a fighter and am a fan but let's be honest here, him facing Spadafora is a joke and don't give me that "Spadafora gave him a hard time in sparring!" crap because that doesn't matter. Times have changed and Floyd would whoop him now as I would give hell to my sparring mates if I get my ass back into the gym lol. Pointless fight that won't happen as Floyd has only fought names since beating DLH. I would rather see another terrible fight, Morales/Maidana, than see Spadafora/Mayweather. I would rather be featured in a J. ustin Bieber music video than see that fight. TBH, we can't be too mad if he faces Pacquiao in the same year but there's no guarantee that happens. He shouldn't even need a tuneup if he thinks Pacquiao "isn't that good" lol.

No SENSE in that fight.

floyd would break into the OP's house and cum in his mother g.o.a.t curry and he'd still defend him

"no no my mothers a hoe she likes da cum innit"

Void joyboys are a part of the 'batterted wives club' , where after their master gives them a beating , they will find a way to blame themselves.

We don't know if it is true or not, but Paul is a decent southpaw. No more. No less.

Fine as a tune up. Especially if Mosley can be sold as a PPV event at this stage in his career.

Dude, Floyd only fight once a year (his own words). If he needs a tune up everytime he fights then that means he will only fight embarassing tune up fights like this one.

Awesome!!! . . i seriously hope they fight LOL. . . on another note "its another quack before a Pac fight, void remains relevant in boxing" :rofl

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.

cherrypicking of the highest order.

Look,

When my boy Wlad was getting **** for fighting Chisora, I said, as long as he shows up to fight Haye in July (at the time), I dont care who he fights in the meantime.

Just like Adamek, who people were giving **** to for fighting Mcbride. As long as Adamek goes on to fight Vitali right next, I dont care who he takes a 'meantime' fight with.

And I will say the same for Mayweather..... If Mayweather signs to fight Pac on a set date, honestly, he could fight Spaddy and I wouldnt give a damn, as long as its Pac next.

The difference is, I fully believed Wlad was gunning for Haye, and Adamek was gunning for Vitali, and that both fights would be made.

I do not think Mayweather wants to fight Pac, and I dont think the fight will be made.

Hence the criticism. (if this rumor is even true, which isnt a given)

But.... I hope he proves me wrong, and the fight gets made this year.

Suck a dick w/ this bull****. If PBF wanted to do all that he could **** w/ a prime beltholder @ JWW or WW.

There's no blueprint to beat Spadafora

Goodhill · Mar 27, 2011

My thoughs;
*Reason 1 - Ethnicity!
- no sense at all. I'm fed up with these ethnic and racial provocations and useissa argumentations.
*Reason 2 - Southpaw!
- if this is a tune-up for fighting Manny, this makes sense. Still there must be at least 20-30 better southpaws
*Reason 3 - Money! I have nothing against Spadafora making a buck for the evident retirement days ahead of him. I wouldn't pay to see this though.

Reason 4 - LEGACY! Maybe this win will raise the stocks of May in the eyes of casual fans, but for a boxing fan this won't mean anything.

Reason 5 - Perfect Timing ! Anything that raises the chance's for May to fight Manny is good for me.

Anything is better than JMM coming up to NOT 140 but to 147 to fight Floyd then Floyd putting on extra lbs and paying JMM 600k bonus. If that aint ***** I don't know what is.
So the Spadafora fight makes all the sense in the world because he has been ducking more people than Walt Disney.
