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

[Kagami Taiga]

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

u have yet to provide proof that floyd wanted 10oz gloves. dude, go read your pac comic books or watch an episode of wapacman or something.

8oz gloves....

Dan Rafael "I called Top Rank's Todd duBoef and asked him. They are both wearing 8-ounce Reyes gloves. The fight is at 150, which is normally 10-ounce territory but both fighters (Pac / Margarito) wanted 8s, so that is what they are wearing."

Man and to think Pac took those shots from Margarito with 8oz gloves... un-freaking-human.

Not sure if the TS missed my post or just doesn't know the answer. Does anyone know what weight glove pac wore for his fight against Margarito for the 154lb title?

The article talks about Xylocaine (which is the name I was looking for) which is illegal and says he's clean from it but doesn't say anything about him using or not using novocaine which is legal and since being so some might think is irrelevant then. Thanks for the article tho.

novacaine and xylocaine are the same thing.

Actually, it seems Xylocaine is not illegal either...

Man, and to think that Floyd will be going up against someone using 8oz, who has grown into a full fledged junior middleweight. Un fricken human

That was a report from Freddie Roach. Not from the Mayweather or his team.
