    Once Floyd gets wind of this another retirement will be announced.

      I swear this guy is gonna be 60-0 or something ridiculous like that. People who dont know any better will think he is some type of beast at LW with his type of record.

        he is a good fighter, I think he's the real deal but who knows? the guy's life is controversial, many fighters lives are but his is no exception. he gave Floyd a lesson in sparring and overall is a good pugilist himself, he needed this win and hopefully he's worked on his power and can muster a nice string of KO's, nowadays that's all it takes to earn you the big fights..

          The only reason he gave Floyd a lesson in sparring was because Floyd was uncharacteristically out of shape.

          Not saying that was Paul's fault, but it certainly helped him work Floyd over.

            I always enjoyed Paul Spadafora. I really hope this works out for him. I would love to see him make good on his promise. Also I am pulling for Pernell to get a good break as a trainer here.

              Absolutely. I wish them both the best.

              I'm just not hoping for too much because of Paul's trouble with the law, and all of the inactivity he's had because of it.

                I would love to see him back in the mix. I love boxers who fight his style. Spaddy and Collazo, James Toney. Just stand there in th epocket, make you miss, and fire combos.

                    I don't think there's a vid. I remember when it happened and it was a big deal, floyd suppossedly got dropped.
