    Why Wasn't Paul Spadafora A World Class Fighter?

    He must have been good as he got the better of Floyd in sparring.

    But when you boxrec Paul he has a bunch of fights in the middle of nowhere

    Because watching him fight was just as exciting as watching John Ruiz shadow box.

        After roughing Floyd up in sparring, Floyd put out the word to blacklist him in the industry so that was that.

          He was, but drugs and alcohol killed his career. Shooting his girlfriend over a tire and doing some time didn't help either.

            He wasn't fully dedicated to boxing. He only was able to train part time due to his wonderful activism in his community,helping out kids and feeding the poor. And he was a preacher. He is just a great man and role model.Lol jk **** Paul Spadafora

                  If you don't think Spadafora was a world class fighter you don't know **** about boxing. Granted his resume isn't HOF worthy, the fact that his biggest claim to fame is a sparring session gots to be disappointing even to him & he's a cautionary tale with his drug issues, but he was a top 3 or so guy in a division Mayweather was running for more than a couple years.

                    Because he wasn't good enough to be a world class fighter. Mayweather must have just had a bad day. Anybody can have a bad day including the great Mayweather.
