    [QUOTE=TheOneManArmy;9022103]Paul spadafora himself has said he has no power and refuses to try and improve his power, he's a boxer through and through and willnot change to please others in his very own words. So it took mayweather a **** load longer to knock out hatton, pac took two rounds. Does that make mayweather any less of a boxer?

    As for staying focused....that girl of his f$cked his whole life up. Granted he's the one who hasfinal say in the matter but she's defintely been a terrible influence/situation/problem in his life. He would have made it far. When he was acually young and before all the drama and prison he was the truth. He could do it all. He's good. People just sleep on him. Now? He's old and past it. Bottomline. Domincanosoy, el no tiene abilidad atletic? que tiene que ver eso con el boxeo? Porque uno no tenga una abilidad atletica no quiere decir que un pelador nunca va a llevar a ser alguien. There is the brain kiddo, more important than athletic a


    My comment wasn't because I felt Spadafora should have knocked Dorin out. That has
    nothing to do with it. My point was that Spadafora clearly lost the fight in my view. And it wasn't like Dorin was a great fighter. Spadafora had an opportunity to shine on national TV and didn't. That might be why people are " sleeping " on.him.

      I remember watchign Spadafora get his ass kicked by Leonard Dorin in 2003, but ended up getting a gift draw. If I remember correctly, that was before he went to prison. Dorin was a journeyman who got lucky and won a title because he was in the right place at the right time. A year after the Spadafora fight, Dorin had his ass handed to him by Arturo Gatti.

      To answer your question, Spadafora was never that good and the prison stint didn't really make a difference in his career.

        Not far... He had a draw with Dorin and a life and death struggle with Victoriano Sosa. If the Mayweather fight would've come off, he would've caught a beatdown and it wouldn't have been a good time for him at 140 either.
