Comments Thread For: Mayweather Balks at "Heavyweight Gloves" For Cotto Bout

[Atreyu Khalil]

one of the many posts I put in here



so out of this where did you get the notion I said he was forced?

when did I say Mosley was "forced"? I don't think I used the word "forced". I was just responding to " IMO he made a mistake he should have gone with the glove he's been most successful with and that's the Reyes"..and not in a confrontational way at all. Basically wondering why he didn't use the Reyes in the Mora or Pac fights?

Side by side with a pair of vintage Flores 6oz. Pro fight glove, used by the likes of Robinson, Fullmer, few other old school legends as well.

How dare Floyd demand 8 ounce gloves... what a coward. Floyd needs to be a true champion and put a rehydration clause on Cotto. He's also coward by demanding smaller gloves and no catchweight.

Smaller gloves mean they won't fit Cotto and that means Cotto can't win. Not fare, Floyd sucks.

No one is even taking it there in this topic (granted, I haven't been through the entire topic yet)...

Why do you continue to let Manny and his fans rule every single thought you have?

You used to be better than that. Or have you got in your mind your some sort of "*******" slayer?

What is the whole dram about since May has been figthing with the 8oz slappers @ 147lbs? There will be no changes to note for him. Now, if he moves to the 10oz then that is a diferent story.

I see Miguel (who at 154lbs utlizes the reglamentary 10oz) being the beneficiary either way. If FMJr. moves to 10oz will benefit Miguel, if he (Miguel) goes down to 8oz he once again will benefit the most.

MHO.

You think Ortiz was forced to wear Grant because of corporate sponsorship, or because Mayweather was giving up so much size? I think Ortiz could full time compete at 154 tomorrow if he wanted.

What happen to Floyd wanting to fight fighters with b1gger gloves because he dont want to get knocked out?

That's just a myth!!!

and I explained ****m and his team got it in his head that Grants were the way to go for the Mayweather fight

when you think about it he is 0-3-1 in those gloves (Mayweather Pacquiao Wright and Mora)

stipulated in contract if he were to fight Floyd

what I was told

Mayweather's hands must be feeling good, I hope he doesn't hurt his hand because that is about what Cotto would need to happen to have a chance atleast if it was early enough and he realizes it.
