    I hope it's not one of Floyd's conditions to use 10 or 12 oz. gloves lol!

    Why would he ask for heavier gloves when he's said publicly he doesn't like them?

                  I think Roach will want Floyd to wear "Reyes" gloves like he made him wear in the Oscar fight instead of Floyd's like of either "Winning" or "Grant"...although this time unless Vegas demands it (if it is held there), it will be 8oz, not 10oz.

                  Floyd was the first boxer I remember coming out against Vegas upping their glove size to 10oz for WW fights. He said it ruined the tradition of the sport.
                  I'm against the use of 10oz gloves for any division. HWs should go back to using 8oz.

                  Now is he still for this? Not sure. In Vegas though...I'm not sure how much of a choice you have. I never understood it anyway: They allow MMA to use small gloves...why not boxing?

                  Anybody know if Vegas still demands the 10oz glove rule?
