Has Mayweather ever been knocked down in sparring?

[Ahmed_Ismail]

Spadafora didn't drop him.

But he did beat him up.

Footage is on YouTube.

Spadafora had good first 2 rounds and in the 3rd Floyd was adjusting and the work was pretty even I would say, u never know naybe it was Floyd's first day in camp and Spadafora could've been in the gym for a while?

At this stage of his career he didn't have a lot of experience fighting southpaws, he improved alot during the period (2004-2006) cuz he fought 3 good southpaws Judah Corley and Mitchell, these are 3 fights and 6 months of sparring southpaws which helped him a lot latee.

Floyd wasn't in Camp. Spadafora was in the Middle of camp.

I thought it was even at first and then Spadafora took over. Floyd has exhausted by the end of it which allowed Spadafora to go to work.

Him not being knocked down in his proffesioanal career isn't that remarkable when you take into consideration the way he fights, he don't chase kos or take any chances. If he went for kos like Pac did against JMM he surely would be down more. But he has touched the canvas in a pro fight against Judah.

But in sparring im sure hes been hurt, just that he didn't publicly say he was hurt and youd be none the wiser. Im not surre if hes been down in sparring, because if he has, the sparring partners must have signed a contract not to mention it as they have been quiet and gentlemanly about it that's for sure.

I'd imagine he has at some point. I' reckon almost every guy has.

It was actually because of this sparring session that Mayweather became the gym rat he is today. Roger said he never wanted to be out of shape like that again between fights.

Are you say ****** things purposely or don't you realise you're doing it?

[THE TALK OF TX]

Yeah I know but out of interest I wanted to hear if anyone had stories and rumours.



Like the guy below said, thousands of rounds, some where he was out of shape and he hasn't been dropped once? Quite a stretch.







Technically it is dropped, if your glove touches the canvas it's a knockdown.

Thats true glove touch is all it takes and only fighter I recall doing that to him was Zab...but of course in his career of sparring im sure some point he have got hurt or maybe even knocked down but we talking about practice PRACTICE!!!! Lol

He's been competing for about 30 years and training virtually all of his life (his dad got him into the sport very early, when he was a toddler), so it's very plausible that he's been dropped before, especially in his amateur days when he was still learning. When you think about the amount of rounds these guys spar it's easy to take a big shot and go down.
