Paul Spadafora is the only man to ever beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing ring. It just didn't happen officially. It happened in a 6 round sparring session the end of which saw Money collapse with a bloody face. It was an impromptu sparring session that Money asked for, and even though it wasn't an official bout, it remains the only evidence we have that Floyd Mayweather Jr. can be defeated in a boxing ring.
So why isn't the name of Paul Spadafora a household name? Because he nearly killed himself with drugs, guns, and prison sentences.
Now, the only man to ever beat Money Mayweather inside of a boxing ring, is making a comeback.

AMBRIDGE, Pa. -- Paul Spadafora struts into Tommy Yankello's World Class Boxing Gym with a cream-colored pit bull named Baby. As the dog tugs on a chain leash, the uneasiness is palpable. Her foreboding fangs and conspicuously muscular physique epitomize every U.S. Postal Worker's worst nightmare.
