What went wrong for him and why do people rain on him?
Spadafora was in prison for a little over a year for shooting his girlfriend in the chest during a drunken argument. They got engaged afterwards, but he still had to go to prison for it.

Also major alcohol addiction, cocaine abuse, and attempted suicide.

He got out of prison last spring and said it helped him clean up his lifestyle and get away from the negative people/factors in his life. So now he's in his "rebuilding" process.

Here he is sparring PBF. This video must have been from the late 90's..few years before Mayweather-Castillo I if I heard the audio correctly. Spadafora looked pretty sharp, mayweather was out of shape. Still, it's not everyday you see Floyd shown up in the ring.
