    is spadafora coming back @ 147lbs ??????

    does anyone know ? If he is things are gonna heat-up a lil bit he is still undefeated with decent skills, maybe he can get into the mix if he is in shape,
    has a decent speed and is focused, which i think he will be (that's what the jail does) 40-0 (16ko's)

    I like Spaddy, but it's hard to imagine him coming back at 147 after 4 years plus away from the ring and maintaining his reflex and skill based style at a higher weight. He lacks the power to get respect at 147.

      you are right but he is not grand-pa old and he is not a rookie, so
      i imagine he should be in shape after maybe 3 fights @ welter-weight,
      to take the big fights,

              A mayweather vs spadafora fight would have been awesome years ago.

              And that sparring match between them was just sparring and mayweather was overweight so i dont count that.
              he gave mayweather problems, so the man has skills, i think he can do well,
              not for a big PPV fight though

                come on now, realistically i think he loses to any welterweight in the top 15 today. People base so much off that sparring session with Mayweather its a bit ridiculous. First off Mayweather was in visably terrible shape and he was going against a guy (Paul Spadafora) who him and his cornor were acting like it was the biggest fight of their lives. Paul was a good boxer but nothing special.

                    its true... floyd wasnt even training he was out of shape... it was sparring and spadafora was in fighting shape cuz he was preparing for a fight... FLOYD IS HUMAN! spadafora wouldnt give him an itch of a problem if they fought for real
