The gloves issue, just how big is it?

[ron123186]

If any fighter is to have a knock-out, you kno it'll only be Pac, Pac can take some blows and then come back way stronger.

-Morales using Cleto Reyes in 122-126lbs, knockin guys out. Last fight wit Cleto on, he dropped Chavez numerous times.

-Started wearing Winning at 130lbs, couldn't knockdown anybody at all.

-Pac wearing Cleto errr fight at 122-126lbs, droppin foos all time winning by TKOs/KOs

-Pac wore Winning at one fight gainst Terible, couldn't get a knockdown.






shyt, this is basic Mathematics. LOL!

If Manny wins on saturday, wearing Reyes...

Is he the superior fighter ? Why would a Reyes victory carry anymore weight than a "Winning"-glove victory ?

The rubber match....should be fought with Everlasts, to really settle things.


But.....we would then need to see who'd win with Grant, TufWear, Ringside gloves, etc....correct ?

Actually this only proves you lack basic common sense and math. Read Manny P's post.

Let me ask you a question dude.

If the gloves isn't an issue, why would Morales force PAC to wear his gloves when PAC has his?

Barrera was forced to use Winning in the rubbermatch and he won his fight quite convincingly. I don't see how it's such a big deal for Pacquiao.

I totally agree. I will admit it makes a slight difference, but not enough to cause someone to lose a fight. I hope Manny beats Morales, but if he does, it will be Pac that wins the fight, not Reyes. Basically, you're all saying that Morales won the last fight because of the gloves, so if Pacquiao wins, is it okay for Morales fans to blame it on gloves?

How come Julian Jackson knocked people out, no matter what gloves he was wearing ? Or Hearns ? Or Arguello ?


I want you not-so-bright types to really think about my next question....

If Manny wins this one with Reyes, while having lost the other with Winning....how does that make him the better fighter ?

[tracylee]

The change in gloves (in my opinion) matters not at all. Now it's about mannys confidence in his gloves?!? He should have all the confidence in the world in himself. All the excuses are tired. Now theres this 'injury' during training, which will be fallen back on when manny loses again. I like manny plenty, but enough is enough....I've heard more outlandish excuses from him than from Wlad's team. Too tight socks?? Every since that one was used, I've been real skeptical of him and his army of reasons he couldnt get the job done.

[Manny_P]

Gloves matter one way or the other. If it didn't, Morales himself wouldnt BE CHOOSING Winning in all his fights would he? And remember, he switched gloves cuz he didn't like Reyes.

[DiegoFuego]

Are Reyes gloves the ones wrapped in barbed wire? I think they might make a difference this time around

[jabsRstiff]

Even though I am rooting for Pacquiao....I will definitely have a moment of laughter if Morales winds up KOing Pacquiao, with the Reyes gloves.
