    i watched floyd say 8 oz, fine he wants 8 he can have 8 make the deal
    Delahoya said he wanted the 10 oz gloves and 154 because he felt it could somewhat neutralize Mayweather's hand speed. Mayweather wanted 8 oz and 147. You do realize that fight was fought with 10 oz gloves don't you? I'll take the time to find it and post it if you want me to.

      Tim bradley might be a better p4p fighter than clottey. But he is not better. If he was he would be fighting at WW where all the big names are and would be ranked in the top 3 or 4 cause clottey is recognized by everyone as a top 5. Nothing against bradley but until he moves up and fights some top welters like clottey has do not compare the two.

        Bradley is a better fighter than Clottey. Better workrate, better handspeed, more agressive, unbeaten. That's not arguable.

          I really only give a **** about what they wear in this up coming fight. I'd be a lot happier if its 8oz and if it's not what the hell but we know that it was mayweather who didn't want to wear them. Who cares about oscar he couldn't pull the trigger against either floyd or pac. Mosley still has a lot of knock out power and fast hands and that's why I think floyd won't want to wear 8oz. I MIGHT BE WRONG AND MORE POWER TO FLOYD IF I AM.

            This is a legitimate first step in the right direction, nothing more or less. This must mark the beginning of facing only elite opposition from here on out and what I mean by that is not pairing off in "event" fights, but facing real stiff elite competition regardless of marketability, that's how legacies are forged.

              Why is he not fighting at WW then?? Clottey is considered one of the best WW. I'm not saying he isn't a better boxer but he is a lot smaller and is fighting at 140 for a reason.

                They fought at 154 for a title belt at that weight division it is maditory for both fighters to wear 10oz gloves.

                  I do give credit to Pac for beating Cotto. I just don't overrate like you do. And yes Mosley lost to Forrest and Cotto, but he didn't take a career changing beating in either fight like Cotto did.

                    Obviously which is why Delahoya wanted it there.
