Floyd made Mosely use his kind of gloves "Grant"

[Spoon23]

So had Shane used Cleto gloves, he would've knocked Floyd out is your point right? If you say 'yeah', give me proof shane ko's Floyd, and I'll argue for you lol...

In every sport, athletes looks for that extra edge to win.

In formula 1 racing,proper aerodynamics in a car can give you that .02 of a millisecond to be ahead of the pact and can even win you a race.

In f1 the difference from first to last is just 1-2seconds. 1st and second are around .03 milliseconds. If you have that right gear you can win the race.

As mosely's cleto gloves with less padding could have given him that extra damage that could have knocked out Mayweather.

In sport like f1 the difference between a special athlete and a good athlete is that extra milliseconds that makes him great.

Like in F1 a good driver can run a lap for example 2minutes 30 seconds. A special driver will do the lap in 2minustes 25seconds.

What I'm saying is that 5 seconds is what separates the good from the great.

Same as winning, that extra help from the right gear can win you a boxing match.

We all now in sports the gear that we use is what we are comfortable using and which benefits you the most.

We choose are gear. In every sport. Even the shoes you wear makes a big difference in a sport.

Being comfortable and confident in what you wear gives you that confidence to do your best.

If you wearing something your not accustomed of course that will affect your performance. Cleto is Shane's boxing GLoves not Grant.

Wether you agree or not Cleto really is a punchers gloves with less padding in the fist area for maximum effect.

Getting hit by it would have given more damage to floyd in the 2nd round.

Wether he would have knocked out floyd , will never know, but surely you can not take away the possibility that Floyd could have been knocked out as well if Mosely wore his choice of gloves 'Reyes'.

my last post in this thread

the company I work for, Everlast, you know that um kind of big glove company was asked by Shane to design gloves for his fight May 1

we did several mock ups of what he wanted and sent him several styles for him to choose from

he initially was going to use our Mexican glove, the MX, because it had a great feel to it and reminded him of Reyes

he was not going to use Reyes for this fight his thoughts were if he was going to use a punchers glove he would rather go for our MX, with the added fact that he would be on our 100 year anniversary cover, then a company that was not going to promote him

Naazim had different ideas and had him start using Grant gloves to see if he liked them. Now Shane was told that they were going to make a special Grant glove just for him but we knew they weren't because essentially this still only have one model while we have 4.

in the end he just felt the Grants were the more comfortable glove (our MX is a pure punchers glove so it can be hard on the hands) and he felt he could still have power with them.

IMO that was a wrong assessment but in the end his choice

now I was privy to all conversations between Shane and my company, had to send plenty of gloves and equipment to Shanes camp in Big Bear etc etc

you simply have a theory and nothing more

Your thread has been owned.... just stop already.

But is it fair game? Is it the essence of being a sportsman to dictate what gloves your opponent will wear?

Sportsmanship fair game is the essence of every sport.

You don't tell a billiard player to use a different cue stick in a tournament.

It's called fair game player.

He nows mosely will give in to him, if he wants a shot of him.

But is it fair game? If you answered yes it's fair.

Then Obviously your a *****.

*****s = blinded by being **** rider too much

Look it up, "sportsmanship"

Same goes for catchweights.

Some people just won't accept that Mayweather is as good as he seems and the kind of gloves Mosely was wearing probably wouldn't have saved him from the ass kicking he received. The fact is Mayweather has a pretty decent chin and he won the fight, end of story. We can engage in hypothetical after hypothetical but what we're left with are simple facts. Maybe if Mosely were an inch taller, or had a longer reach, or got more sleep during his training he might have won. Maybe, maybe, maybe...

Also I don't think his fight with Mosely should be remembered for two punches he survived but rather for the dozens of clean shots he was able to land the rest of the fight. In a thirty-six minute fight Mosely was able to land two clean shots but got pummeled the rest of the way. In my way of thinking that suggests he needed a lot more going for him than a different set of gloves.

When looking back at a fight it's best to stick to reality because fantasy can take you in any bewildering direction on a whim.

Yup that's the word 'probably'. and it is safe to safe Mayweather would have 'probably' gone down on the second if Mosely was wearing his cleto reyes.

But you cannot say it won't. You can always say probably, meaning there is a chance he did or did not.

The thing is there is a chance if it was 'probably' Cleto Reyes. But he wasn't allowed by Floyd.

So Floyd won. He keeps winning. Is Floyd fair for doing that no. But he won by hook or by crook.

What he cares about is the win, even if you have to cheat your way into winning same as what he did to the extra 2 pounds he weighed with marquez.

He just wants to play dirty and fight at his own comfort and advantage.

He won't fight anyone if it was equal footing.

By your guy:

you simply have a theory and nothing more

By me:

Haven't you realized that the real reason why he visited your company is in pursuit to find a punchers gloves similar to Cleto Reyes coz before going to your company he had an agreement with Floyd not to use Cleto Reyes. Chaching!

So the only way to solve that is to find an alternative brand that works similar to how cleto is, hence your MX.

But for some reason the everlast Mx didn't feel right for Shane and he had to go to the 2nd option which is Grant.

As you mentioned there wasn't any choosing of Cleto Reyes, He was left to decide between everlast and Grant.

Coz, that is what has been agreed upon with Floyd and Shane during negotiations, that he made mosely agree to his terms not to use his favorite Gloves "Cleto Reyes."

Want to discredit my thread ask Mosely about it and find proof. Coz your story just says he is there looking for your gloves.

Your story only strengthens my case that he had 2 options

Everlast and Grant. They can't go to the tried and tested Cleto Reyes. Which we all no is his favorite punchers gloves.

Afterwards he couldn't get back at me. OWNED! That's what it is lol

Checkhook lol

[slickfox]

show me a link where it says floyd said he cant use cleto reyes.....or shut up
