Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Adviser: Floyd Coming For All Top Welters

[Calilloyd]

dlh did not want 10 oz gloves.

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.

Paquiao's team went after Maliganaggi and the words came straight from Arum's mouth. Mayweather's team never publicly said they wanted Malignaggi. And Tim Bradley is a better fighter than Joshua Clottey. And Mayweather and his team never mentioned him as an opponent. When you find where they did,let me know.

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.

[switchsouthpaw]

if mayweather beats mosley their still going to be an excuse that he was to old just shup up and give mayweather his props and he wasnt that one that back up against manny it was the cheater pacquiao

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.

[Calilloyd]

if you dont give credit to pac for cotto then dont give credit to floyd beating mosley because he got beat by forrest, cotto.

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.

[superchile]

well well

i have too see it to belived its a shame he didnt fight cotto before margo and margo before mosley those would have been great matches , he better clean up the division or else hes going down the history books as the fighter that could have been of the greatest
