    He's also undefeated through 41 fights. Doesn't he deserve/shouldn't he go out and get a big fight...If you still have an "0" thru 41 fights, the fight will be able to promoted/sold well.

    He keeps losing to his ex-girlfriend in all those big money court fights.

    So why doesn't he go out and get a big $ boxing fight??? With a 41-0 record and able to fight at 135 or 140, there's no reason for him not to fight a name guy.

    he can sell some tickets in Western PA.... He hasnt been as active as he should have been.... Once he gets enough fights under his belt, he would be ready enough to duke it out with the top welters.. I think somebody like Andre Berto would be a bit interested in that name.... If he can make 140, i think that would be best for him....

    I think the biggest names on his resume is Angel Manfredy and Leonard Dorin, I think him and Floyd would have eventually fought if he did'nt shoot his girlfriend.

    he has not been active enough he spent time in jail and is at a weight to heavy to make noise if he would of missed jail time and stayed smart i say he easily got big fights and easily won them..he knocked PBF around the ring in sparring and PBF nuthuggers will kill me so here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILQL0aqEzh8 i know he is overweight but still he was puttin it to Floyd..but his best days are done he could be a easy name to defend a belt...for berto or some at 154

    Spadafora was a solid belt holder, but his personal life got way out of control. His shining moment was beating Pito Cardona for a lightweight title in a fight I remember watching on ESPN; he was the underdog in that fight. Unfortunately, I doubt he'll ever be a serious player in boxing again. Too bad.

    He's a bum who turned his back and ran from Manfredy multiple times in the ring and got some home-cooking to win the decision. He was sure as hell never a threat to Floyd or any elite fighter.
