      Seems like it's always something that makes you shake your head in his recent fights.

          Then he wonders why fans always talk **** a out him. He's always up to something whether it's ducking g, contradicting himself, getting advantages. It's always something can't wait till he's retired

            What a ****ing f*g.

            It's not as big a deal this time around, at least Maidana knows what gloves he'll be wearing going in. It was so unfair the first time because Maidana didn't know what gloves he'd be wearing hours before the fight.

            Still, Floyd's a b*tch.

                You'd swear he was fighting Golovkin given his concerns.

                  Floyd joining the ranks of cowards like Tommy Hearns, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Lennox Lewis amongst hundreds of others. Here are some excerpts from an article written by pacstan hero Thomas Hauser:

                  Reyes has a reputation as a "puncher's glove," which stirs a measure of debate. "Some people say this one is a puncher's glove and that one is something else," says Donald Turner, who has trained Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes. "That's nonsense. Eight ounces is eight ounces. The gloves don't knock you out; the fighter does.
                  "Thomas Hearns loved Reyes gloves," recalls Emanual Steward, who trained and managed Hearns through most of the fighter's career. "But puncher's gloves are harder on the hands too. When Thomas started having hand problems, I insisted on a clause in all his fight contracts stipulating that the fighters wear Everlast gloves."
                  Nor are glove stories confined to decades past. Before the first fight between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales, Barrera wanted to wear Reyes gloves while Morales voiced a preference for Winning. Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Marc Ratner decreed that the issue would be resolved by a coin toss. Barrera said that was fine with him but, if he lost the toss, he wouldn't fight. The coin turned his way, so the issue became moot. Nevada now allows fighters to wear different-brand gloves as long as they're on the state's approved list (which includes Everlast, Grant, Winning, and Reyes).

                  One year later, Barrera found himself emeshed in another glove controversy when he fought Naseem Hamed. The contracts called for both boxers to wear Reyes gloves. The Nevada commission had agreed to requests that Hamed be allowed to wear green and Barrera yellow. Then, at the weigh-in, Barrera chose a pair of yellow gloves for himself. But Hamed had first choice under the contract and, changing his color preference, decided that the pair chosen by Barrera was the one he wanted. Thereafter, the situation degenerated into chaos. Two hours before the fight, the gloves still hadn't been chosen. Mark Ratner brought six pairs of red Reyes gloves to Hamed's dressing room. Naseem tried on each pair and pronounced them all unsatisfactory. Three more pairs were presented. Finally, after examining each glove, Hamed choose a pair. Then Ratner journeyed to Barrera's dressing room, where Marco Antonio's hands were being taped. Ratner set the remaining eight pairs of gloves on a table. One of Barrera's seconds walked over and, without looking twice, pointed to a pair at random.

                    Why are ppl surprised? If maidana didn't like it he shouldn't have signed the contract. This time he had a choice. He chose otherwise. That's what contracts are for. Now last time, was pretty *****acular by Floyd. But honestly maidana now has no1 to blame but himself.

                      Remember when it was the Reyes punchers glove that were the best for punching. Floyd agreed to let Oscar (the much bigger man) to use those. He conceded to all of Oscar's demands. This is the world of boxing. Maidana has real power, if he's gonna hurt Floyd hes gonna hurt Floyd. They are using the same gloves, equal playing field.
