    It was never denied by Floyd nor his camp.
    But since when did Floyd's team come out and deny a rumour, so irrelevant, false or true?!

      Floyd doesn't like to play fair. That's why he's demanding 100% of the PPV revenue. When was the last time he played fair? He suckered Gatti, Ortiz, Mosley and many more.

        Floyd denied he hit his girlfriend....... Did you believe that he was innocent because he denied it? Or did you just believe what you wanted to believe?

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.
          Floyd/Mosley was at WW where most fights use 8 oz gloves. For Floyd to ask for 10 oz would be a complete chicken move.
          Floyd/Cotto is at 154, not 150 or 147. List down the fights you know at full 154 that used 8 oz gloves.

            Action speaks louder than words.

            A rumour comes out saying Floyd wants 10 oz, yet he agrees to 8oz gloves. (A case of action speaking louder than baseless words)

            A rumour comes out that Pac is juicing in '09. Pac denies, refuses to take a test for 2 years. Says he'll take a test now. But still hasn't. He still hasn't demonstrated action speaks louder than his words.

            How come you believe Pac when he says that he's clean. But still to undergoe random drug testing. Yet when Roach allegedly claims Floyd wanted 10 oz, you'll take fully on the chin. Even though, Floyd agreed to using 8 oz gloves. And has said a 100 times over after the De La Hoya fight, he hated using 10 oz gloves because they felt like pillows. Why not judge fairly? Why the extra nitpicking? What good does it serve you?

              Floyd is obviously looking to get Cotto out of there and isn't worried about Miguel landing much of consequence.

                Makes no difference. Floyd could have requested for the Mosley fight to be at 154, in the same you way apparently claim he wanted to do with Pacquaio.

                  What a silly question. So he denied hitting his girlfriend, then why did he not deny the reports of 2009?

                      It makes a lot of difference.
                      Floyd is scared of Pacquiao. He is not scared of Mosley.
