The Clottey that Manny fought is not the Spadafora that is rumored to fight Floyd.
Clottey fought hard fights againts known welterweights and exposed a few of them in process.
He might not have won, but he gave those guy hell and is a known top 5 welter who was never been beaten decisively.
Not to mention he is considered as a huge welter compared to a lightweight/jww in Spadafora.
What's the point of a tune-up if it doesn't lead to Pacquaio or Martinez? We both know Mayweather will never step in the ring with either of those fighters, so what's the point of a tune-up?
BUMP! For the Flomos who ignored this post...
I guess no body remembers that its rumored spadafora gave Floyd trouble in sparring and many called for that matchup if this is a confirmed fight im ok with it as a tune up...clotty doesnt throw punches i wouldnt want him as a warmup. Spadafora will come out blazing hes got something to prove.....
I really hate the people on here who are so bias and appear to be uneducated.

yeah spadafora gave him a tough time in sparring when floyd was out of shape.
this was almost a decade ago though.
probably should have fought spadafora then when they were both lightweight champs.
and undefeated AND spaddy was calling him out everywhere.
but he fought sosa instead who spaddy already spanked. while spaddy had to settle for the undefeated unification fight vs dorin.

:pat: wow these Mayweather fan boys are just as bad or worse then the pactards they hate. Im pretty sure Mayweather could do anything and some of you homo ass dudes could find a way to defend him.

spadafora is 48-0. clottey has 4 losses. spadafora is the much better fighter. even 2 wins better than calzaghe. mayweather should be praised for taking on a young undefeated fighter like spadafora. i haven't seen this amount of bravery since tyson-mcneeley.
Who has spadafora fought?
i once witnessed spadafora wrassle a bum in penn station late one night over half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the bum found in the trash. It was an epic post crystal meth binge battle of wills that paul barely got the sd in. A true bum fights classic :boxing:
I was being sarcastic anyone with half a brain and who doesnt have a man crush on Floyd knows that Clottey would destroy Spadafora and is a much tougher challenge.
I know bro, i'm just following your lead with the undefeated line.
That just exposes the overrated myth of being undefeated means you are a great fighter.
Clottey has a few L's in his record, but even today, that guy is not easy work for anyone.
How bout floyd fights clottey instead and see if he can "outdo" manny's 700ppv and dominance.
I'd buy that ppv.
