pacman had a choice of either march or may!! he had a choice!!

10z gloves because of his hands

LOL..

Why do you think? Seems obvious.

like the other posters said: he has brittle/fragile hands. the only knockdown of his career was because of this.

All fighters want all the advantages they can get.

E.g.

Manny fought Cotto at a catch weight.

So whats ur take on the 10oz glove advantage?

I really think that Floyd feels that's the only way he loses is if he hurts his hands.

Manny has more power with 8oz gloves.
