    What about Floyd's known brittle hands, how much of an advantage is it if he busts up his mitts and can't put real force behind the blows~

      Don't they cover that in the contracts? Either way, the *****'s inked, so there's nothing he can do now.

        Why do you think Manny ordered 8oz with Margo , its about busting their face up , the smaller glove is not about KO its about speed .

          What excuses boy? Cotto plus PLD, the wild card in this, been in the gym figuring out the game-plan. PLD is hungry and is a whiz, it's over for Floyd, who's very overrated IMHO. Floyd did not look impressive vs DLH @ 154, it's true what the commentators were saying. Cotto's got the best jab and boxing ability at 154, point blank period. Floyd can't hurt Cotto and Cotto can hurt him. If Floyd still ran like he used to I would say UD but those days are over and he''ll be forced to mix it up with Miguel, especially because like the other knowledgeable poster said -- Cotto can/will go southpaw on Floyd. Cotto is underrated in his boxing ability and his timing + speed. It's the reason why Steward fell in love with him and Pac + Shane said he can beat Floyd. Plus Roach don't want Pac to fight Cotto at 154. May 5th That 0 Will Go.

            Remember floyd uses xylocaine so his hand dont hurt so i say its disadvantage to cotto! Cotto should use some xylocaine against floyd

              Bingo! Cotto will have to eat a lot of leather to get to Floyd anyway so it matters what is going back at him. Floyd proved in the De la Hoya fight he can't punch with 10oz gloves so they should go by the rules and use 10oz gloves.

                    It makes a big difference. Why do you think they have rules?

                      That's how this fight will end, on cuts.
