    Will Pacquiao be able to hurt Floyd with 10oz gloves?

    So do you guys think that Pacquiao will be able to hurt Floyd with 10oz gloves. I am sure that Floyd will demand that to be a requirement especially since they are at welterweight plus where that is the norm. Pacquiao has so far been allowed to fight these bigger guys with 8 ouncers, but we all saw what happened with JMM put on the 10 ouncers against Floyd. It was like he had pillows in his fists and JMM has pop.... he has shown repeatedly over the years hurting guys that were difficult to hurt including Pacquiao himself.

    So what is you guys' thoughts?

    Will Floyd sucumb to Pacquiao's handlers superior negotiating skills or will this be another issue that keeps the fight from happening?

    I don't believe gloves ever became a roadblock, so I dont see why you would say that.

      Pacquiao would be able to knockout Mayweather even with pillows in his hand. There's a reason he's been running from Pacquiao for 3 straight years and counting.

        That's a great question.

        I'm of the opinion that Floyd should drop the Wada drug testing demand only in exchange for Pacquiao's agreeance to have the fight @ 154 with 10 ounce gloves and a 26 ft. ring. There would be no need to make him fight clean, because this would pretty much offset Pac's PED advantage. But Pac's handlers would never agree to such a thing, everything has to be handicapped in Pac's favor, or they won't agree to fight anybody.

                I know they used 8 oz gloves for PBF-SSM and they used them for PBF-JMM as well. The Ortiz fight will be 8 oz gloves. All the big WW fights use 8 oz gloves now.

                    In Mosley fight, I think Pac used 10oz gloves but still able to hurt him and knocked him down.
