What do people make of Paul Spadafora?

[DaxxKahn]

IMO Paul has been over hyped...he has fought second rate bums and has caught guys at the right time...He has not one legit fighter on his resume...

His team scouts opp very very carefully...Paul is a nobody...Even when he was the LW title holder....He seemed to somehow avoid guys like Castillo, Johnston,

Not hard to look good against guys who co-operate

Right o, the guy he's fighting is an Italian Tomato Can of the highest order... He's just not really someone who I know much about atall. Cheers for the info Daxx

Yeah like everyone else said he has his best wins over once quality guys on the down or just plain old gifts..

Manfredy at the end of his career....Sosa had yet to peak and he was in Pittsburg when he eeked out a draw with Dorin......

Hell last year I think he fought Shad Howard...A fighter I handpicked to build up the resume of Wayland Willingham 5 years ago and Wayland was garbage......

But the way they allow footage of him to be available and through highlights of handpicked fights I certainly know he looks a hell of a lot better then what he is...

I think that Paul showed a lot of promise in the early part of his career. He was a very talented boxer, but wasted it all with booze, drugs and a bad lifestyle.

[Nameless]

Dorin really beat him and it did made a mini scandal in Quebec, I recall very well. The thing is; the guy is very very talented, no questions about it. However, it seems like often he didn't train properly an was easily dragged off the path of duty by some more than questionable friends. What he does worth now, I am really not sure, inactive for so long, wasting golden years in jail or rehabilitation, we'll just see but I think that we'll never convincingly know how good or not he really was due to his misdemeanors outside the ring.

Look Floyd... the perfect example of an undefeated record meaning sh*t. I thought Dorin beat him! I'm sure Whitaker is still working with him. Won't be long before someone catches up to him!!!

Look Floyd... the perfect example of an undefeated record meaning sh*t.

Yeah because their 2 resumes are really comparable

Hell even Joe Calzaghes undefeated record is better than Spadafora's!

[jdonaher1]

Didn't he have a life and death fight were he was knocked almost out (or knocked down) a bunch of time and got a Dempsey style long count? Was that the Sosa fight you're all talking about? Sorta like the Bute fight, dominated the entire fight and had a long count to finish the fight?

Even Sven Ottke laughs at Spaddys record

Ive only seen him fight a couple of times about 10 years ago and was shocked that the other fighters couldnt even think to try and get around Spaddy favoring one side type of style.
I got bored and frustrated from zero attempts at catching him off side and people fighting his fight so I havent watched him again, bit like Vic D his style should be countered better by some thinker fighter.
