    Im convinced that C Money is just a Carlito alias so that we'd finally stop reminding carlito that he promised to leave the site

    Well, I am not going to get into this....

    But for the people saying PBF was NOT out of shape, well you find me a single fight where PBF looks tired and puts his head down after 4 rounds on the turnbuckle, or a time when a fighter, any fighter who is in good condition, lays down on the mat after only 6 rounds.

    That is a clear indication that PBF wasn't in shape for that....and we can't say it was the body work Spadafora was doing because the Castillo fight had far more viscious body punching and PBF wasn't dead tired at the end of 6 rounds.

    It's okay, he can come back if he wishes, he'll only be sent back to where he belongs again and again, I can do this forever.

    The dumbest thing that always comes from these "but in a sparring session..." stories is that they have any bearing whatsover on an actuall fight.

    Sparring is not fighting. Sometimes you are told as a partner to only do one thing to help the fighter prepare or the fighter is only working on one aspect of his game. Most fighters don't get into the gym war type of sparring like James Tony was known for. Usually it's a tool for training.

    It's cool to see the video, but I wouldn't put any more weight on it than it deserves. Sparring sessions don't equate to proof of anything other than they were involved in the same training camp.

    The video proves what happened was overrated.

    For two rounds Floyd is fine and can do what he wants when he wants. Its competative though.

    Then Floyd gets tired and has to pace himself. His feet get heavy and he can't throw as many shots as he wants, plus his shots got slower.

    Spaddy had faster feet and hands, now we know that ain't true.

    Look at Floyd at the end he is exhausted.

    It was sparring. Case closed.

    Does anyone here HONESTLY rate Spadafora as a better fighter than Mayweather? I was a Spad fan, but not because I thought he was the greatest fighter in the world. I quit being a fan when he shot his pregnant girlfriend.

    Why did PBF spar Spadafora?? They wished to test the 35 waters as Floyd said he was having trouble making 130. They came looking for Spat and the rest is history. Floyd assumed as do you that it was an easy mark!! His opinion CHANGED AFTER THAT SESSION, APPARENTLY!!

    I never said SPARRING COUNTS or is the real deal. THE ISSUE AND POINT IS, FLOYD REFUSED TO MAKE THE REAL FIGHT BASED ON WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS and his offer came just days after Spadafora hit REHAB!! That's a ****ing DISGRACE of the highest order. What I have done is posted the entire vid for everyone to see. It would have been a step in the unifying process, but? That's something Floyd never does:nono

    It's why wouldnt Floyd make the real fight for almost 3 years and waited until Spadafora hit rehab before making an OFFER??

    Well said, people are making a big deal out of this. Is the hate for Mayweather really that bad?

    She wasnt pregnant at the time he shot her. I make no excuse, though Snow White:nono was the one that pulled the gun on him, it was a terrible, reprehensible, and unacceptable action.
    Yet, shooting a pregnant woman would be EVEN WORSE, that wasnt the case. She became pregnant, after all of that.

    I havent said or expected anyone to say or rate Spadafora a better fighter, but ask yourself again why it took almost 3 years and the shooting and rehab before Spadafora was willing to face what would have widely been considered an lesser opponent. The fight would have had Championship meaning and they made floyd offers, before he had a belt at 35.

    KG, it's all good, but the bulk of responses arent addressing the point!!
    It's why didnt Floyd make the real fight after this session for almost 3 years and waited until he hit rehab??

    If floyd was out of shape and dumb enough to go calling out a fighter ready to defend his title, that's his fault. Beyond that?? He should have took the offer, came in shape, and whipped his ass. That's the majority consensus of WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

    But coulda, woulda, shoulda, is just as OFFICIAL AS SPARRING:lol:
