what was with Mosley's obsession with touching gloves all the time?

Floyd punished him for it

it was sort of the same situation between pacquiao and algieri, they were touching gloves too much for my liking... no need

Mosley was just one of those super nice dudes.

I just think he's a nice guy with good manners.

combination of good upbringing, good manners and habit

Ahh yes i remember mosley kept touching gloves and floyd hit him with a left hook straight right combo cheap shot the same one he did on ortiz

Mosely is just too nice. In both fights it seemed after awhile he was just going through the motion rather than actually trying to win. Granted he wasn't going to win either fight but it might have been a little more competitive.

Funny thing is he was trying to touch gloves with Margarito as well. He was whooping Margarito but wanted to touch his gloves all the time lol.

I doubt it had anything to do with buying time or sympathy. I noticed he did a lot of glove touching in the fight against Margarito, and he dominated that fight. It's probably just sportsmanship.

I think he had alot of respect for those guys after they started whipping his ass and making him look amatuer. Even if he was over the hill. This I agree. If you notice he only does it when he starts to LOSE the fight, other wise if he's winning, the only thing he is doing is throwing punches.

what happened in that sequence was that floyd got nasty and hit shane when the ref said break when their arms were locked up shane got pissed and started wrestling thats when the ref broke em then they touched gloves and started jawing and floyd smacked em no idea why roidsly thought he could talk in a fight I don't blame Floyd. In round 2 when Mosley had the Momentum he wasn't worrying about touching no gloves, he was going for the gusto. Same thing with that situation, he wants to talk know because he's getting his ass taxed, other wise he's trying to knock your head off.

he was going through a divorce and needed some human contact

it was a gesture to invoke sympathy out of manny, he was scared for his life. He didnt want to be in there, if it was up to him he would have quit and ran out the ring but they didnt let him so like the hoe ass nukka he is he did what he was told and got his ass whopped for the entire 12. Same went with mayweather too but mayweather will punish you if he can and with mosley he could so he did.

He wanted them to take it easy on him after he was getting his ass kicked.(Pac/May) Pac did a little bit but, May said no mercy !!!

yeah, i noticed that too. i don't think its just sportsmanship. i think he recognizes that he's in deep **** and that's his subconscious way of telling the other guy "go easy on me bro". True. But, if you notice he does in the Margarito fight, right after he knocks him down the first or second time, the round before the stoppage. Right before the round ends. Think this is just his habit, and is probably too nice of a guy in there, no hard feelings kind of thing.

To me it seemed like it was buying time and indirectly asking for mercy. But maybe he's just overly respectful, and it's something he does a lot of in sparring.

Lol I always found it odd as well. I think it was done out of nervousness.
