    When you can make demands you do. Nobody mentions how Floyd fought at 154 with Oscar's gloves and ring of choice.

        The rematch clause is normal.

        Forcing Ortiz to wear Grant instead of Reyes is a move designed to limit Ortiz's punching power, that simple.

        Is Floyd concerned or is he just using his leverage in an intelligent way?

          Well since the Klitschko brothers wear Grant ok assuming it's to better protect their hands? Since they're already heavy hitters, why use a glove with less hand protection if you already have KO no matter the glove brand/style? If someone like Tyson used Cleto Reyes' gloves then he'd have broken hands more often.
          You can't compare heavyweight with welterweight...different power and glove sizes for that reason.

              The difference is that people make up BS secret rehydration clauses to dis Pacquiao, but when PBF actually forces his opponent to wear certain gloves it's perfectly reasonable.

              The difference with the DlH fight is that Floyd made a big deal about being forced to wear 10 ounce gloves in that fight, but then made the huge concession in the Pacquiao negotiations of allowing 8 ounce gloves to be worn.

              It all makes complete sense.

                  They aren't KO gloves but the way they are designed mostly to get the best out of your power. The paddings are placed differently throughout the glove.

                  There's a reason for different brand of gloves, surely you didn't think they're all the same....

                    I might have missed it, but has it been confirmed that Ortiz is being forced to wear Grant?

                    If he does have no choice on gloves, has Ortiz stated that he doesnt want to wear Grant?
