    The Only Man To Ever Hand Mayweather An Ass Whooping Is Making A Comeback

    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.

    I have a feeling that in the 14 years since that 6 round fight took place that Mayweather has gotten a lot better than Paul Spadafora did.

    P.K. told me that I was never going to be dunking a basketball or playing in the NFL, but had a good future in boxing,” he says. “Then we talked about why I was even in high school, so I dropped out the next day."

    Feel sorry for the guy, tough upbringing, bad parents

    spadafora was at the end of his camp...floyd was essentially just walking into camp(although hes always in good shape)....its a great story for them and all....but spadafora wouldnt have beaten floyd back then and its absurd for them to think they even have a chance of landing a fight with him now

    that sparring session has been fodder for floyd haters on hardcore boxing forums for years... basically you had floyd who was in the early stages of camp going toe to toe with a good fighter for 6 rounds...he got a bloody nose and was gassed in the end.....floyd wouldnt have let a real fight between the two play out like that

    Why do you insist on defending Floyd at every possible turn? You white knight him with seemingly every post you make. I suspect you are related to him.

    I thought 50 Cent whooped his ass when they were messing about in ring once as well? That was why they broke up!

    because people go out of their way to shit on him at every turn and they just dont get it...ive been a fan since he was an amatuer...hes my favorite fighter...he takes so much unnecessary shit from people who just cant stand him for one reason or another.....used to have to listen to pac fans on hardcore boxing forums shit on this guy all the time....these same people have disappeared and have aliases and still try to discredit the guy.....

    i dont have a problem with spadafora being proud of his session with floyd....but for an article to say "the only man to defeat floyd mayweather in a boxing ring......evidence floyd can be beaten" is ridiculous....

    Floyd does get a lot of unnecessary shit, I agree. He's an extremely hard worker and deserves everything he has.

    You're not really helping the cause, though, I think. Floyd doesn't need guys to defend him or sing his praises on internet forums. The best way I can describe how you seem to come off is to point you in the direction of the diehard Pacquiao fans that littered internet forums for years and insisted that he'd KO Mayweather if they fought, in every single post they made.
