No, this is the session people are talking about when Spadafora got the better of Mayweather.OMG look at Floyd's footwork, he's losing his legs, he's not moving around a lot, OMG! Floyd had already lost his legs by 130!
I've seen this. This is not the sparring session that people claim Floyd got whooped in. It was another one where "Floyd" is wearing a red shirt and he looks a lot bigger than the actual Floyd, and yes, Spadafora did get the best of that "Floyd".
I no longer see the video around. But in the end, "Floyd" lays down on the mat because he was tired. The video was posted and it was ridiculed, every one agreed that didn't look like Floyd. That's where the "Floyd was out of shape" claims come from, the guy was too big, Floyd was never that big even out of shape.
This is the only legit sparring video out, and as you can see, Spadafora didn't get the better out of nobody.Comment

well this is what the pro Mayweather people say regarding this debate, including Kellerman. They say that this was like Floyd's 2nd day back in training while Spaddy was like 2 weeks out from a fight so Floyd easily won the 1st 2 rounds which to them shows how a fight wouldve went but Spaddy tookover after that because of the circumstances of where they were in there training camp. Floyd wasnt in that kinda shape while Spaddy was ready for a 12 round real fightRounds 1&2 have been posted before, but this is the first I've seen of 3,4,5,6.
Seems to me that Spadafora could do everything that Mayweather could, only better. Being "out-of-shape" can mean anything and everything, depending on the sentence context, but to me doesn't touch on skill, but on stamina. The skill is always there. So being "out-of-shape" in this sparring session, indicates that those who say this, could see that his performance was not up to their expectations.
This may have had something to do with Spadafora......
Perhaps this session caused the creeping beginning of Maywather's dislike of facing southpaws....... Just a specualtion, nothing more, but I've noticed that other than Ortiz, his major fights have been against orthodax stance fighters.
A pity only maybugs seemt to be commenting here....and mercifully just a few.Comment
