Im sick of seeing threads calling Floyd Mayweather a ducker.

The **** Spaddy was talikng every chance he could. i don't mean like negotiations.

Ask yourself, what did Spadafora do to try and make a fight?

[HandSpeed303]

Agreed. He certainly should've fought Johnston after Castillo. Would have been a great fight. That said, he did fight the guy who beat Johnston in his first fight in the new division. Then gave him a rematch months later.

Right. I'm not calling him a duck ImDazed...Never will. I just wish there were two fights in his career he took.

Both fighter wanted it...Bad! Floyd didn't.

The Floyd fan of today seems to think that all you need to do is call Floyd out...On camera.

Spaddy did that. A few times. Bitched him out in the media every chance he could.

He even changed his tactics and pleaded with Floyd after the Manfredy fight (HBO).

Spaddy wanted the fight.

You may think Floyd didn't want a Spadafora match. I wonder if Floyd cared. And while HBO used the sparring session to push Paul, they never pushed the fight. And that, more than anything, is what matters.

Just because Floyd fans say that doesn't make it true. Oh Marquez called him out, that's why Floyd fought him! Yeah right. Marquez called him out because he had been instructed to by his handlers--who were well aware Floyd was preparing a comeback and wanted Marquez first. Spadafora wasn't ducked by anyone. But one sparring session has taken him quite far.

Gotcha.

It is clear that Floyd never cared much. He never once said anything about the sparring session, or Spaddy's comments.

Like I said, Spaddy wanted the fight, Floyd didn't.

Spaddy is main the fighter I use in terms of calling Floyd out. Most seem to think that is all it takes. Not the case in this situation.

Also HBO did have Spaddy on two programs, maybe they were warmng up to him, and the idea of a Floyd fight...Then he blew his career. Not Floyds fault.

I see your point, but you are not seeing mine.

My points are not based off the sparring video....

What are you basing it on then, bud? The fact that he called him out? David Telesco used to call out Roy Jones at every fight. Literally showing up with posters. If Roy had ignored him do you think that meant he was ducking him? You know why Telesco got the fight? Because every other opponent pulled out. Getting back to the sparring session - it was downplayed because...it was a sparring session! Mayweather literally walked into a gym, saw him sparring and asked to go a few rounds. Spaddy was finishing up camp while Floyd hadn't been training for anything. Some things are best kept in perspective.

That Spadafora was an undeafeated fighter, that was calling out Floyd. He had about 4 fights on TV before he got locked up (HBO and Fox sports). He had following up North, and was starting to get exposure. Floyd was not the one you wanted to be calling out, yet Spaddy was doing it.

Like I said, I knew about the sparring thing years ago. I'm not one of these cats that just seen it, and decide to bring it up. Check my history, Johnston and Spadafora have been the only two fighters I have ever brought up.

Not to mention, he felt like, and so did his followers, that he deserved a shot.

My points are based on all the times that he called Floyd out. My point is he wanted the fight. He was doing whatever he could to get Floyd attention, winning included.
