    Would you be ok if Floyd fought Spadafora?

    Paul Spadafora, wtf??? I know he isn't that well know and doesn't bring money at all. Still he is a ww, he is unbeaten still even though he hasn't fought great comp, and he does have skills. Those are all undeniable facts whether anyone accepts them or not. If Floyd decided to fight him for whatever reason I for one would not knock him because there is no real argument for why Spaddy is not a credible opponent other than he hasn't really beaten anyone. If that were an argument at all then how does anyone become someone in boxing? You beat a well know opponent, I would say Floyd is well known to say the least. Besides that argument really is for title shots, Floyd currently possesses no title. I will go as far to say Spaddy is about as credible an opponent for Floyd as Berto would be. Thoughts, and think them through first objectively and think sport not business before you post.

      Spadafora would be a better opponent than Berto.

      Neither will happen because there won't be any money in it. Unless he just wants a tune up.

          Spadafora is finnally getting active but he ain't a WW.

          He is trying to get a title shot at 140 now.

            I would like to see floyd fight spadafora while he waits for the manny pac fight . Plus him and spaddy could sell! paul beat mayweather up in sparring a couple of years ago, also spadafora is unbeaten a former world champion and now trained by the great pernel whitaker.

              If he did, I'd say that Floyd was just being Floyd.

                Margacheeto doesn't deserve a big fight after his suspension...he might as well not come back at all.

                  well, I think it's going to be a hard sell. Fans want him to figth Pac, SSM and Cotto. Anyone else would be a major disappointment.

                    Berto would be a better win than Spadafora, He came back after a year layoff recently in 8 rounders.

                    Spadafora was a good Lightweight, he hasn't even fought a world class fighter since Angel Manfredy let alone a world class welterweight. Berto has atleast fought Collazo. If Floyd picks Spadafora its worse than Marquez seeing as he was a Lightweight in 02' and has fought 5 times in the last 5 years and none of those fights were against world class opposition.

                    It has to be either Mosley, Cotto/Pac winner or an even bigger challange like Williams/Pavlik winner

                    And Spadafora hasn't gone 12 rounds since 03' and that was a draw
