Why ask for 8 oz gloves for a 154 lbs fight?

[J-Smooth]

TS got owned plain and simple...

Can you answer my question? Pretty please

What's your point and how is it related to the topic?

I think you're the umpteenth person to chase him out of his own thread

Bet you he comes back in about an hour's time, when he thinks the coast is clear

I'm gonna camp up in this b1tch until he comes back lol

Guys lets just put an end to this ridiculous pole smoking by the TS. Floyd wants the smaller gloves with Cotto because he doesn't fear his power and he is scared of manny's power. Now let the TS get back to his day job of drinking what comes out of manny's wild rabbit.

You're getting there. You are right about Pac but only partly correct with regards to Cotto.

[Phenom]

So why would Floyd now want 8 oz against Cotto when he wanted 10 oz against Pac?

moron why would he want 10oz vs Pacquiao but not against the harder punchers Mosley and Ortiz?


you probably believe in this **** am I right

What's your point and how is it related to the topic?

The thread theme seems to be about glove weights. It seems to interest you. Just wondered what weight Manny's gloves were for his fight against Margarito. Do you know the answer? Its ok if you don't know, you can just say you don't know.

Why is it un freaking human? Oh yes, we all know about Margarito's explosive one punch KO power

LOL. Because Pacquaio took those shots with ease and actually begged and taunted Margarito to repeat the shots! Haha. It truly is un-freaking-human.

^ This

Plus did you not see the size difference and even tho he was taunting and seemingly taking the punches with ease did you not see what they were doing to his head and body?

Idk what's up with all the sarcasm on this thread and people failing to comprehend but Im out, I got the answers I was looking for.

Does your question have anything to do with Floyd's 10 oz for Pac but 8 oz for Cotto?

[BoxingGenius27]

In the 2009 negotiations with Pac, Floyd reportedly wanted to use 10 oz gloves in a division where 8 oz is the norm. Now, at 154 against Cotto where 10 oz gloves is the standard, Floyd asked for 8 oz gloves.

Can someone explain and give a rational reason for this strange turnabout?

Because Pac was hitting strangley hard for a FW moving up in weight.
