Supposedly, Mark Suarez dropped him in sparring with a body shot years back. There was a story about it on some site prior to Cintron-Suarez. Also, Kid Diamond allegedly broke one of Floyd's ribs in a sparring session.

I think vicious boxer has u knw. Kayoed him when his sweatband flew off and caught PBF in the eye. Roger and Leonard dove into the ring and then sumbody shouted SECURITAYYYY!!! Then Joel Judah flew in. All the while PBF is in a coma thanks to the vicious nature of our ESB champion!

zab made his glove touch the canvas, do you call that a knockdown ?
i meant technically its knockdown but lets get real we are talking about pbf getting put on his ass.

um he put his self down when he hit um whats his name on the head and he went down because of the pain in his hand.

whats the white boy he sparred against, did he knock him down in sparring, sparrrrrrr cant think of it.

Regarding Mayweather getting knocked down by Judah? Are you guys talking about your personal opinion? I understand the concept of glove touching=down, but I don't remember that in the Judah fight. I don't remember him ever having a round worse than 10-9, maybe I'm wrong. To the best of my knowledge PBF has been down once, and that was because his glove did touch. But years ago, not against Zab. I don't know about in sparring, I guess watch that video that was posted (I haven't yet).

I heard a while ago of Eric Morales giving him a good workout sparring a few years ago. It seems strange cause he is smaller but its possible they trained together because they were both under Bob Arum at the time.

Actually Floyd went down to one knee after hurting his hand in his title defense with Carlos "El Famoso" Hernandez in the sixth round and took a count. That was an official knockdown but not 'really' one if you know what I mean.

:lol:

3 months?? Is that the definition of long layoff??

Now, suddenly there was a shoulder injury??:lol: The original excuse was he was out of shape.

BTW?? What you see in these 'highlites" are a joke compared to what took place during the full 6 rounds.

Spat beat the tar outta Floyd boy:good That's why Floyd ducked him for over 3 years and then finally made him an "offer" as soon as Spadafora hit REHAB for his alcohol and drug issues which were onset with the arrival of his ex-girlfriend.

BTW?? I have the entire tape and will 1 day, put it out there, well.. HERE(Lucky ESB posters):D

It's all about TIMING, and if we can keep Spat out of jail and away from the curse of his life in Nadine Russo(ex-girlfriend whom he shot in a drunken state after Russo pulled his gun on him) then he may get the opportunity to revive his career. A very talented career which has unfortunately been tarnished and set off track. One might note that ms. russo and the sobriety issues started prior to the Dorin fight and IMO played a very large role in the unsatisfactory performance that Spat delivered there.


Unfortunately?? At the time of this post SPat is yet again in jail awaiting a hearing on a vioaltion of his parole THANKS AGAIN TO MS. RUSSO:good The devil's spawn moved from Pittsburgh to Erie where Spat has been since his release and has been trying to flush his life completely down the toilet.

Spadafora actually filed for a PFA restraining order because Ms. russo threatened to cut off his dick while sleeping and threatned to crash her vehicle into a wall with Spadafora's young son in the back seat!!!
Two days after Spat filed, Russo filed for a PFA and alleged that Spadafora had dragged her by her hair and hit her. Since Spadafora's release conditions SPECIFIED that he is to have no contact with Russo, they jailed him and he is currently awaiting his parole hearing on the matter.

Spadafora has been issued a marriage license in Erie to marry aformer girlfriend and mother of Spadafora's two daughters. Ms. Russo is certainly not very happy about that:good

c money, you reall think spadafora is that good, that mayweather ducked him?

At the time of that session?? YES, that's why Floyd got beat on and embarrassed. That took place in DEC 99, Floyd refused to dicuss Spat until mid 2003 and finally made an "offer" only two days after Spadafora hit rehab. A fucking DISGRACE:good

The facts speak for theselves.

Now, a lot has transpired between then and now and how close Spadafora can be to the form he had then, remains to be seen but HE DID BEAT FLOYD's ASS.

Now, many talk shit about "sparring" and what have you, but PBF sought out Spat, talked immense shit, and got smacked down.

I think I remember Jim Lampley saying something about Kid Damond knocking down Floyd in sparring with a body shot. I could have heard it wrong though.:huh


I remember hearing that report the day it happened, on another site. Again, PBf talked a lot of shit calling Kid D Chinese and such and supposedly, KId D did put him down on a body shot.

I didnt see that event but i can tell you that Spadafora did some wonderful early bodywork on Floyd and that's not something PBf seems to enjoy:lol:

AGREED.


But why did it take 3 years and rehab to get an "offer" for a real fight??:lol: :lol: :lol: BTW, Spadafora's legal issue's were onset and he couldnt get licensed which prevented the 'fight' from happening and was then jailed. Floyd did what he did because he got what he got:good


Also, there are different variables surrounding "sparring'. Given the circumstances of that day and the amount of SHIT Floyd talked, that was more of a fight in the gym, than a "sparring" session.

Lucky for Floyd it was a fight in the gym and they didnt just line up a shot at Spat's IBf title in the ring:good Spadafora, out boxed, out fought, and if they went 12??:lol: PBF wasnt likely to see the 12th that day.

C Money
06-23-2007, 05:14 PM
Damn son you must be a noob or something. This tape appears here every now and again and everyone knows Floyd was off season, out of shape, etc, while Spaddy was heading up to a fight. Floyd was merely giving him some work and some of you idiots think this is a real fight or something. Wow you got a lot to learn about how boxing works kid. Look how slow and lethargic Floyd is and how he has to lay down after the round on the floor even though he barely threw anything and just sat on the ropes the entire time.
Floyd would beat Spadafora worst than he did Angel Manfredy your other great white hope if they ever fought.


:hi:


Did my Hamed statements really twist you that much??:lol:

Uh... I HAVE THE TAPE and that's 99, so NOOB??:nonono :nonono :nonono Sad that you would even try to suggest that shit:-( :-( :-(

You and most of the rest of the world havent seen the tape in it's entirety and what you see on these "highlites' are more like "lowlights":lol: I would caution you against speaking on it with authority when you have not seen it.

Just to give you some CLARITY, it was dec99 3 months after Floyd's last fight and 3 months before his next fight, PBF went to that GYM looking for Spat and it was to test the waters at 35 seeing Spat as the weakest link, not to 'give" Spat some work:lol:

Further?? Just like I told Silver, yes it was sparring, BUT WHY DID IT TAKE 3 years and rehab to get an offer for a real fight??:D


BTW?? When did this become a race issue?? I could give a flying fuck about color, it's what happens when the bell rings that matters and THERE HAS BEEN GREAT CHAMPIONS of many races.
Funny though, Floyd was talking a lot of racist shit to Spadafora, before Spat put him in HIS PLACE.

Angel Manfredy?? PLease......... I couldnt stand that dude but PBF and Spat both beat him so he's IRRELEVANT!!!!!!!!!!!

C Money

who knows why he wasnt offered a fight in 99' but you maybe putting too much on it when you say mayweather was terrified of him till 03

Well, Spadafora's camp made several attempts between 99 and 03 to get a fight with Floyd, PBF appeared on FNF in an interview with Kellerman shortly after the incident and Floyd almost pissed himself on camera saying " I dont want to talk about Spadafora", and over 3 years later but two or 3 days INTO REHAB the fax machine suddenly spit out an offer for the fight:good In reality, PBf should have fought Spadafora in 2000 or 2001 and would have added the IBF lightweight belt to his collection, IF that day was such an "off' day. The proof is in the pudding and not making pudding doesnt prove anything either.

Those facts, a long with all the issues at 40, and 47, show that Floyd hasnt faced the TOP OPPOSITION of his ERA.

All I hope for?? Is that a fighter like Floyd will step up and be willing to fight the best and eliminate any/all questions surrounding guy's he's avoided. Will Spat still be relevant? Hard to say right now, but there's other fish to fry like SSM, Margarito vs Williams winner, Cotto, and possibly HAtton.

geez you are the most annoying moron ,, Al bersteine make reference to the fact that Floyd was out with an injury and was for more then 3 months get a clue floyds last fight with castillio was 4/02 spaddy fight with holbaek was 11/02 that a span of 7 months learn to count , and yes he was out of shape do to the injury ..
and as you can see floyd looks around 150 in the video he's a lot bigger then spad and this is when Floyd was fighting at 135 in any case he re matched and beat the king of 135 and I have no doubt he (Castillio) would have Spad cooking him breakfast butt naked with a lace apron and house shoes on.

Anyone who's boxed knows that sparring is just where you work on technique. Spadafora was coming up to a fight in a week or two for god sake and was absolutely going all out on Floyd and all Mayweather did was lay on the ropes and throw the occasional Jab and you act like this shows a domination. :lol: :lol: Get a grip you dumbass Floyd would have put Spadafora into the hospital if they ever fought for real and to say that he ducked him at the same time that he was fighting the Castillo's and Corrale's of the world only shows complete ignorance.

Motherfucker, I have the tape in it's entirety and KNOW WHAT, WHEN and HOW IT HAPPENED. There has never been a dispute about the time from PBF's camp because IT"S TRUE!!!:D

Love how you throw out the fact that Floyd was out of shape and Spat was a week from a title fight (HIS 1st DEFENSE) as an excuse as to why it happened but fail to comprehend the meaning:lol:


Face it, you just fucked yourself by spouting shit you're not sure of and trying to talk shit:lol: Dont worry, there's at least two stooges that went with ya:good You shouldnt throw stones when you live in a glass house!!!

thank you. just looking at him as objective as possibe. mayweather has been sccused of ducking people before but the only guy he really seemed to sidestep was margo. but you'll have people saying he ducked guys like casamay, hatton (even though hatton was the one who tuned him down), cotto etc. just hard to believe mayweather DUCKED spadafora when mayweather has gone on to beat better fighters.


Hard to believe doesnt equal not true. What I have always said, is that if PBF wasnt ducking him?? It shouldnt have taken 3 years and a rehab to get an offer:good

Either way?? Look at Margo whom you bring up, Williams has claimed to have beaten up Marg in sparring, and Margarito vs Williams is fast approaching. No wondering, no bullshit, and willing to find out 4 real, THAT'S A CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY.

Not just for that reason, but it is very similar in nature. Williams made an issue of it and has used that as his case for this matchup. Again, Spadafora was the BF champ beating a champ is worth more than a contender, so that only makes it worse for Floyd.

palease if you ever boxed or competed in any 1-1 combat sport at all you know full dame well that being out for 2 months will make you dull as well as lose any type of conditioning .. but in any case ..
Spad is not even a threat not then and not now , the boy drinks to dame much. and the only reason spad went to rehab was to keep from going to jail but again if he was more discipline that wouldn't be an issue.

in short Spad is as much of a head case as Zab with far less pop in his punch and hand speed.

Floyd would have nothing to fear from a soft punching alcoholic Spad .

maybe your right.

Obviously, i have an inside perspective on Spadafora and whether anyone agree's about whether Spat could beat PBF or not is fine. But if there is 1 thing which is UNDENIABLE?? Ms. Russo has had a tremendously NEGATIVE impact on Spadafora. The cracks in the facade began to show in the Dorin fight.

As i said earlier, despit the fact that he moved to another city since his first release from jail and the judges order's for NO CONTACT, she moves to Erie and has YET AGAIN caused him problems and threatened to endanger and neglected his son. She also had and GAVE UP two other children before the age of 18 and is by NO MEANS a capable parent.

Hopefully?? The vioaltion hearing he await,s will factor the psychotic nature of this woman into account. It's a very tough situation with the child involved. In a perfect world?? The child should be removed from Russo's "care" and could live with Spadafora and his new wife to be and mother of his two daughters with strict NO CONTACT order which would PLACE BOTH IN JAIL for any contact. There's no telling if his new wife to be would be accepting of such arrangement but with a child caught up in an INSANE scenario it's a continual problem waiting to happen.
