    I can't remember when the last time glove choice was an issue at such a late stage in the fight. I can't remeber when an amount this high was allegedly paid to get someone to wear gloves. I have listed-as have others-fights where a sides have chosen gloves.

    If your issue is timing, fine. If your issue is floyd flexing his power like an unstable, childish egomaniac-fine. Just say that and be done.
    dunn, do u think floyd is only taking the rematch because it will be an easy fight for him with a big reward?? just wondering.

      Does Tiger Woods choose his opponents' golf clubs? Do tennis players choose their opponents' rackets? No and no.

      Maidana is used to the MX gloves. He prefers them.

      Gloves make a big difference. Why is there a guy in his house making $500 kitchen knives? Because that little, tiny difference matters big time. Why do some pool sticks cost $60,000? Because that little difference matters when it comes to performance. Are you really that special needs? Surely you can comprehend this.

      Mayweather is Nerfing Maidana. Handicapping him badly. Paying him off. Boxing is a joke. Why force your opponent to wear gloves he never used before? He had to grease his hand just so they could fit.

      This fight means nothing, because he is not fighting Maidana at his best. That TBE shit is bullshlt. Anyone who believes that is a ******. This is Manny Pacquiao's era. Mayweather is a crook.
      Your failure to answer the questions and the opinions at the end of your post illuminate exactly what your issue is. Lets see if you can answer them.

      As for performance, you are exactly right-which must mean Mayweather is TBE because he beat ODH at 154 without "his" gloves.

        People discredit Floyd and rip on him every chance they get.

          Just be adults-you don't like that floyd has power and money and uses it to get what he wants. WHen ODH or Manny did/do the same thing you f@gs don't say a ****ing word.

          Just deal with it and move on. Plenty of fighters have won fights without wearing "their" gloves. Plenty of fighters have taken extra money to not wear "their" gloves.
          How many a sides threw a hissy fit and made their oopponent change glove the night before the fight? According to you its quite common so I'd imagine you have quite an extensive list.

            I didn't say that at all. No need to lie and exaggerate to try and refute the point.

              It's obviously a worry to him. Let the guy pick his own gloves.

                SO why ***** about it now-unless the issue isn't glove choice but floyd's power.
                do it on same boxer/rematch is even worst! it only proves GLOVES DOES MATTER.

                  First off, what does De La Hoya have to do with the Mayweather-Maidana rematch?

                  In that fight Floyd looked like shit against an old fat Oscar. Remember there was gonna be a rematch in 2008? Lol, Floyd sucks. He's just a roided up technician who cherry picks easy fights. Overrated. Ain't knocking shit out, and pressure puts him on the brink. All that muscle and he can't even hurt his opponents YOU are sad. A grown man worshiping this midget and defending him like a your his bitch.

                    Nothing. You brought up that floyd's win was tainted because Maidana didn't have his gloves so I asked if floyd's ODH win was enhanced becuse floyd didn't have his gloves.

                    Maybe he looked that way because he wasn't allowed to wear "his" gloves.

                    Play the "defend/ worship floyd" card because you have no facts to support your point and have been easily made to look like a foolish, petulant child who doesn't know much. Cool.

                      you need proof? are you ****** or dumb? its already there! On this rematch, Floyd still dont want Maidana to wear his choice of gloves that are approved by the commission... it only means that Gloves is a big Factor on their first fight. Look what Morales did, he prove that its not about the gloves that's why he allowed Pac to wear his choice of gloves on their rematch...
