Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains His Position For Rejecting Gloves

[g-wane]

Mayweather should be thankful for boxing because with his level of intellect he'd be flipping burgers for a living LOL. His arguments are completely illogical and are irrelevant to the claims he makes.

First he says that De La Hoya got the choose the gloves...Ummmm they fought at 154 pounds and 10 oz. gloves are generally used at that weight. De La Hoya didn't tell him which brand to wear or anything...they both wore the same size gloves.

Ironically, Mayweather is complaining about 10 oz. gloves but was complaining about Maidana wearing gloves with less padding in the knuckle area lol.

Maidana was still wearing 8 oz. gloves just the weight is not focused as much in the knuckle area.

I say the NSAC should decide if the gloves are permitted if they permitted them for Broner why not for Mayweather.

But my main issue with Mayweather is that he wouldn't even let Maidana wear Cleto Reyes gloves LOL. The "Pacquiao gloves." From watching Mayweather clinch, use forearms and hang on the ropes most of the fight...he's lucky Maidana had on the Everlast Pillow XP edition lol.

Not true Jr middles are allowed to wear 8oz gloves .. When Floyd fought Cotto it was with 8oz gloves not 10.

Oscar also chose a smaller ring with a softer mat.

Fraud fans are the absolute scum of the earth. Gutless, lowbrow turds that know **** all about this sport.

A fighter in the 80's like Sugar Ray Leonard. The guy that insisted that the Hagler fight be 12 rounds instead of 15 in a bigger ring with 12 ounce gloves?


This **** has always gone on in boxing.

Twelve rounds were the norm for WBC sanctioned title fights, you absolute pleb. They were the only body willing to sanction Leonard as a title challenger. And they were wearing 10 ounce gloves.

Nah. Oscar had him wearing 10 oz gloves for a higher weight class. So his gloves were bigger than Oscars.

Oscar was no fool, he wisely took every advantage he could, and I don't really blame him.

They were both wearing ten ounce gloves, you ****ing spastic (ya know, the standard size for all fighters above 147.)


Go ahead and find an example of a fighter forcing another to change gloves a day before a fight and then rejecting other pairs of gloves in which have been approved by the commision themselves.

Floyd should just announce that he is the first gay boxer and get it over with. you will feel better about yourself Floyd. oooohh his gloves hurt ayyyy...lmao a disgrace

Nah, when Floyd fought Cotto, they used 10 oz gloves. Floyd tried to request to NSAC that they use 8 oz gloves. Cotto disagreed though, said he wants the 10 oz gloves. NSAC rejected Floyd's request and went with the 10 oz gloves because that's standard for 154 anyways.

that health bs and life after boxing paranoia type rap is making me wonder if this dude really wants to keep fighting....I think he's gonna just honor that contract and slide off into sunset with a **** load of money...now all he has to do is make it to the finish line in good health....that's what I'm hearing with his vegetable talk and health concerns

Floyd is terrified of getting beat...even more terrified of getting iced....Pac is terrified of needles and even more terrified of Arum....while BHop is steady inking his name in the record books....like I said, the GREATEST ACTIVE fighter in the game is 49 yrs old and trying to become UNDISPUTED champ

and my smart ass thought the glove drama was some sales tactics....Floyd don't got the soul for this sport anymore man....Chino is a hardcore puncher but Floyd made him wear soft **** gloves...smh...unacceptable!!...just because Oscar is a hoe doesn't make it acceptable....smh

.Oscar, Floyd, Pac and Cotto is the perfect boy group..."The Divas" and their multi platinum selling album "I'm The A Side" is poisoning the youth....foundations have been altered and traditions destroyed!!

Stop crying, lmao. Jesus H Christ..always crying when it comes to Floyd. How the **** are you going to bring your own gloves and then say he should've had it in the contract, lmao.

Don't pull that weasel ****, lmao. You fake Floyd critics look like an asses. Floyd should pick the gloves, size of the ring, come out last..and if Maidana wants to be the man, BEAT the man. Brought his own gloves, lmmfao.

I'm glad Floyd exposed the armchair too. Never fought in your life lmao saying, "Yeah" lol.

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

Not sure which is sadder, the ***** move that was pulled off by Floyd, or the fact that people are actually defending it.

Is this a joke? How could Floyd have put in the contract? Is that actually supposed to be dignified with an answer. Think about it, the gloves are agreed upon and its put in the contract. If its not agreed upon before hand, then the fighter can wear any commission approved glove. End of story.to defend floyd othr wise is blind

[PunchyPotorff]

Next thing we'll hear from the whiner: No punching me hard except for one round of the fight. What a pathetic little diva. ATG my azz. All time WHINER more like it.

They're equally pathetic.
