Is Floyd a ****** or what?

And of course Larry is defending him

Pacquiao is fighting chris algieri ... I suggest all pac fans hide in a cave for the rest of the year, your right to criticize floyd for ANYTHING has been revoked.

Floyd isnt worried about an even playing field when he's beating women. Hypocrite

[Comeback]

Floyd being correct on here.

Besides that glove shit Maidana should have got disqualified during the fight.

Floyd is going the stop that punching bag on the rematch inside of 8 then school hypejob Ginger once again.

Is it safe to say Floyd worst than Ortiz? lol.

Ok, not a fan of either guy, but can somebody explain why does a guy whos gonna have a 20-25 pound weight advantage is b1tching about some gloves. . judging from the first fight, the only clean blows he connected were rabbit punches so why so much crying . . Maidana needs to be more concerned with whos gonna be the referee, because he was supposed to be DQ'd after round 1 when he landed 14 rabbit punches (i counted) so the gloves should be the least of his worries, if its kenny bayless hes gettin DQ'd for sure.

Pretty much what I'm thinking. Whenever someone posts a video of Floyd getting "clobbered" by Maidana, all I see is barrages of clumsy, flailing shots landing on Floyd's guard and that famous pull counter-counter from the 10th that almost landed and would have knocked Floyd out.

Sorry, the color of the gloves had nothing to do with it:

"Last night the camps met to review the gloves to be worn when the Mayweater camp objected to a pair of gloves that Maidana planned to wear for tonight's Showtime pay-per-view bout. The gloves in question were a custom made pair of powder blue Everlast MX. Their objection centered around the padding in the gloves and that it was too easy to manipulate to move padding away from the knuckle area and to the wrist area, thus keeping the gloves 8 ounces, but allowing for a harder punching surface."

"The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) agreed and said that they would not allow the gloves. The Maidana camp switched to the "stock" red Everlast MX gloves. These were approved by the NSAC, but the Mayweather camp continues to object, saying that they aren't going to fight if Maidana wears the Everlast gloves."

So were Loui Resto's gloves and Margarito's wraps, and Shane's drug tests

I ride with you homie, Everybody should really consider the question Floyd is asking... Why are Maidana's gloves so important to him? After all its the skills that win the fights, if a boxer's gloves are more responsible for him hurting people that his actually power generated from the leverage he gets on his punches then that is something that should be looked into. I think GGG would knock people out with any type of glove you put on him. I understand there are punchers gloves and things of that sort but Maidana seems hell bent on his gloves.
