    Glove is 8 ounces, which you can have at 147.
    he is tarnishing the sport mate..think about it...there are millions of people around the world just interested in the negotiations let alone the fight..so,for a quick sec all eyes were on boxing..am not saying floyd was right to ask for the test but now that he has and a lot of other people including boxers are questioning manny(fair or not,they are)..to prove he is innocent he should have just taken the test and proved that one of the best boxers right now isnt juicing..boxing has already had numerous black eyes with boxers juicing and that so pac could of took the tests,past them and then said to the world,"look,am that good,the sport of boxing is clean",which would of looked better than him flat out refusing to take his blood because he is scared of needles albeit he has many tatoos,or whatever the case is.him and floyd too are representing the sport in a big way so why not show in the biggest ever fight that it is a fair fight..this is the perfect platfom....i like watching pacman,i dont hate him but his decision here is questionable...i have raised my eyebrows in the past with some of floyds antic because he aint perfect either but this time around i must say pac is in a way making the sport look bad.just my opinion...either way both fighters are acting like spoilt b****..the rich bas**rds!!!!!

          Are you saying Cotto at 145 is worse than him at 146 VS Clottey?

          They wanted to test the water. Oscar was not a good test as Cotto is.

          Now they believe Manny can put on muscle and be effective at 147 VS someone good.

            Manny is not tarnishing boxing. To accuse someone withotu evidence is tarnishing a person. To retire two times when big names are after you is tarnishing the sport.

              he also turned down 40 million dollars because of a random blood test. he got something to hide.

                  Pac fans ignore the obvious, Pac is a catchweight, weight drainer, juicer, who fears stringent drug testing mord than anything else in boxing
