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

[Rapid Counter]

Again, according to reports. Nothing has been confirmed as truth. So when that usually happens you take those things with a grain of salt. Someone told me the other day that there's such a thing as the Easter Bunny, am I going to take his word for it, just like you have. No. I dig a little deeper to find the truth.

Maybe I should go into the Boxing Scene Lounge and tell everyone apparently the Easter Bunny is real.

Are you suggesting that the Easter Bunny isn't real?

Are you slow? Floyd agreed to 8 oz gloves for the fight against Pacquaio! That is well-documented. Floyd used 8 oz for the Mosley fight. Floyd used 8 oz for the Ortiz fight. Do you NOT see a pattern here? What is your obsession with this anyway? What is the point? Because there is no point since Floyd and Pacquaio agreed to using 8 oz.

he is slow been told that the glove size was agreed on for the fight and that Floyd fought harder punchers then Pacquiao never demanded the 10oz so logic would say those rumors are false but what do expect from a Pactard.

these morons even going on about how unhuman it was for Pacquiao to take a shot Margarito punches at catchweight

Cause Cotto, after the Marg fight, cuts up easier so he's trying to bust up his face. 8oz = less padding = harder = easier to do more dmg, 10oz = more padding = softer = harder to put the damage on his face.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

To summarize:
After seeing what Pac did to Hatton and Cotto, Floyd wanted to lessen the effects of Pac's punching power, thus the 10 oz gloves. In the case of Cotto, Floyd knows that Cotto cuts easily. His strategy seems to be to win by stoppage due to cuts. In addition, Cotto tends to be less aggressive when cut.

In both cases, Floyd's objective is self preservation and he will do whatever he can to assure that.

Haha, yeah I couldn't believe what I was reading when I saw that.

Since you neither confirmed or denied it I'm gonna be like the TS and believe whatever the f**k I want. No matter how ridiculous it sounds.

After seeing what Mosley did to Margarito, Floyd wanted to lessen the effects of Mosley's punching power, thus the 8 oz gloves... Oh wait... 8oz gloves. Something's not quite right here. I thought he wanted to lessen the effects. He should have used 10 oz gloves, if he wanted to lessen the effects.

Once again proving my point that the allegations you heard about Floyd wanting 10 oz gloves against Pac are simply untrue.

Now who is slow.
The fact that they agreed to 8 oz is beside the point. It does not answer the question why he wanted the fight at 154 and with 10 oz gloves in the first place and yet he now wants something different against Cotto.

Untrue? Sez Who? You?
It was never denied by Floyd nor his camp.

For the hundredth time, it seems... Floyd didn't request that. Roach was just talking out of his butt cheek...
