Does Floyd's "pillow" gloves compromise his power? (READ DISCLAIMER)

[Heavyfist]

Um, no.

Floyd refused the second pair that received approval, and Maidana eventually had to use foam gloves instead of horsehair.

When your hands are completely gone, that only helps so much.

[sbbigmike]

Except he didn't try to cheat.

Unless you think he bribed Everlast to rip padding out of the gloves after they were assembled.

Commission didnt approve the gloves they agreed with Ellerbe that padding was moved to the wrist and away from the knuckle a blind person could see that the glove looked like it was from the 20's................Take a look for yourself...

He came to a fight at the biggest stage with a insufficient and possibly altered glove, wtf should Floyd boxing's biggest a-side ever allow him what he wants after the fact like everything is cool, roses and butterflies, when Chino tried to inflict damage and win by any means possible, which he backed up by his dirty actions.......

What about the Reyes? Why was maidana not allowed to use a glove used by lots of fighters today, used by Guerrero last year against floyd and USED BY FLOYD HIMSELF? Why was he not allowed to use the Reyes?

[LinealChampion]

Mayweather's hands are brittle, he couldn't afford to sit down on his punches if he wanted, which is why it's best to use pillow gloves.

[MindBat]

Um, no.

Floyd refused the second pair that received approval, and Maidana eventually had to use foam gloves instead of horsehair.

I stand corrected. Ok, so if Maidana were dead set on using his own custom made pair of horse hairs, why not just call the fight off entirely?

I'm certain that if he were to beat Floyd the first time he would probably insist Floyd wear heavier pillows to slow down Floyd's hand speed much like Oscar did, and Floyd would have to comply.

Maidana is fortunate Floyd decided to exercise the rematch clause and has given Maidana the opportunity to win this time.

Maidana and Robert appear to be happy they're getting o do it again.

Like I said, the show will still go on.

Pls go away if your not gonna be educated. He wore Winning gloves for that fight. I've only seen floyd wear cleto reyes on dlh Castillo and the late coralles.
My question is floyd faught Castillo and Chico arguably the hardest hitter in that weight vlass and allowed em to wear cletos he faught cotto on the mx gloves. Why now? Is horse hair an issue. Should his wins be voided gor using cletos

Again, you're basically accusing Maidana of either paying off Everlast or paying professional thieves to find the gloves, take out the padding, and repackage them without anyone knowing. Because that's the only way Maidana could have possibly cheated. His side had no access to the gloves before that day.

And lol at calling Floyd Mayweather boxing's biggest a-side ever.

[littlemac]

Floyd cheats by wearing Reyes underneath those pillows.

[joesaiditstrue]

of course it does, also his hand problems contributes to how much mustard he can put on his shots

[Pony Boy]

More padding = more absorption of impact. End result less power on impact.
