..... to fight Paul Spadafora. Ye I know thats hard to believe but thats the latest one going around on a number of sites. Really hoping this one isn't true but ye never know, it's a fight I wouldn't even consider downloading

There was whispers of that before alright. At this stage the guy would do crazy ppv sales fighting anyone. Doesnt he still have legal issues hangin over him.

Rumour is he was offered a $100million 3 fight deal by Don King.

Surely Pac must be on the scene if thats the case. I mean if Paul Spadafora if one of those 3 fights King is going to need something alot more competitive in the other 2 fights to make it worth his while handing out that kind of money

I'd rather watch the spar from the two of them than pay to watch them fight

There's talk of this being a tuneup fight for Manny in November or early next year. Who knows though. If it is a tuneup I think Mayweather would want to be facing better opposition. Spadafora was a tricky fighter and he's also a southpaw, but he's 35 and hasn't fought anyone decent in donkeys years. A really, really safe one for Floyd too, of course.

Well Mayweather is 34 now so he'd wanna get a move on if he has any intentions of fighting Manny. The more time passes the less likely he is to beat him.

There's not much between their ages though, only a year older?

I think it's about 21 months. Probably enough to see Floyd slip over the edge before Manny.

I actually cannot remember ever hearing of a man named Paul Spadafora.

BiffoGooner · 29-03-2011 9:26pm

45-0-1, 19 knockouts. Looks impressive until you look at the names. Only a fool would pay to watch Mayweather fight this guy. Hopefully, Floyd's little remaining dignity will stop him from taking this fight.

Mayweather is never going to fight Pac because he is rightfully afraid of him... he ducked it several times , putting forward ridiculous demands...which even, when Pac agreed to them, Mayweather ran ...

PBF threads should be banned

Spada was out of boxing for a while. I remember there was talk of him fighting Ricky Hatton a while before the Kosta Tszyu fight was made cos he was stepping up from 135 and was unbeaten. Think he had big troubles outside the ring. I've seen the guy fight but another easy payday if it happens for Floyd

Mayweather may be coming out of retirement.....
