Pattern in Mayweather's Glove Selection Process?

[Evol]

When was the last time floyd mentioned the gloves?

My best guess is floyd thinks choosing the gloves gives him some kind of mental advantage.

Him saying its "easy work" is a standard floyd line he says for every fight to hype it. You are applying it to this to justify why you keep bringing it up. Then you ask about being real? How about you be real.

if he thinks it give him some kinda metal advantage then stop saying maidana is easy work. why would he need some metal advantage for a guy who he calls easy work? LOL explain that! and im not bringing up the easy work term to justify why people is giving floyd a hard time.

if u cant see it then theres no way of convincing u. let me break it down for u. people is giving floyd a hard time about the gloves because he continue to run his mouth about how maidana will be easy work while at the same time wont allow maidana to use his gloves of choice.

You can't really have this conversations with him about this subject, because he's coming from a more biased standpoint. His dislike of the tactic is why he made the thread in the first place. He has beaten this subject up already in the past. And has clearly said that he thinks it's PATHETIC for any fighter to choose their opponents gloves. And that's a fine opinion to have. But at the same time, you know what time it is if you see such a person bring up this topic again.

Yes, his initial issue was floyd choosing maidana's gloves. Its ok that he didn't know a sides have done it before. Instead of just saying ok, I learned something new-he switched it to timing once floyd fans corrected him, ignoring the fact that you wont have a glove issue until they are inspected, which is close to the fight.

But, lets assume he was honestly concerned about timing. That isn't an issue for this fight, its been settled. Yet he is still has an issue-which leads any rational poster to believe he is not being honest about his real issue.

Back when he 1st brought it up-I asked him if he was aware this happened before and wasn't as big an issue as he is making it. To him asking that is deflecting.

I think Dirk is just mad that floyd fans knew something he didn't. Which doesn't exactly fit the narrative of NSB-floyd fans are allegedly all ****** dwellers who don't know anything about boxing or its history.

The fact he felt my 1st post was "attacking him and making lies about him" shows you exactly what his deal is.

it was ****ty the way it went down the first time around. Very badly done, if it had been written into the contracts well, maidana could have grumbled about it and so on but at least he would have had time to prepare, but when they basically blackmailed him by saying no fight unless you wear these gloves etc etc it was a real ****ty move. it's not so bad this time as at least he is now able to get used to the grants etc. but still a pity that floyd has to insist on getting some bit of an advantage instead of being willing to beat an opponent that is at his best/most comfortable.

It's all these sort of things that loses floyd fans.

why would you think floyd would operate differently than any other fighter who has been the biggest draw in boxing?

Why are you lying, Dunn? I spefically mentioned how Mayweather complained about Oscar choosing his gloves so I wondered why he was doing the same thing to Maidana.

There's no need to lie and gossip like a slimy little b1tch.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Do they really not understand this or are they being deliberately ignorant to deflect? That's what I want to know.

It's like when they complain about "hatin". Mayweather specifically markets himself to be disliked ffs . If there weren't people that disliked him, he wouldn't be half the star he is.

I agree with this..

Letting your wig slip again, Dunn. When have I ever alleged that anyone was a "****** dweller"?

I can't explain it because again, "easy work" is a standard floyd line he uses for every opponent, not just Maidana and choosing the opponents gloves is not a reflection of opponent difficulty when floyd is involved.

Are you suggesting that this thread is about giving floyd a hard time and not really about the issue the TS says? or is this just about my post?

Come on now..a fight is a fight,and fighters will take any edge they can against any fighter..Dunn believing Maidana is going to be easy work for Floyd I don't believe has anything to do with Maidana gloves..I also don't think Mayweather thinking this has anything to do with Gloves..Again it's a mental thing,boxing is 80% mental and 20% physical..Win the mental fight,the physical battle is easy work..

It is common for elite fighters of the past and present to seek advantages even if they thought their opponent was easy. Sometimes it is done out of pure ego (being a diva or control freak). That's just the way it is.

You heard Cotto try to explain this to Martinez on the Face Off. Even though Martinez had a great comeback reply.

And actually, on the contrary, I imagine most Floyd fans to be pretentious snobs and wannabe businessmen, all desperately seeking to appear more educated and intelligent than the "cavemen" that is the casual boxing audience. Like they understand the sport and its workings better than any other fans. The worst NSB Mayweather fans all act that way.

"******" doesn't even enter the mind.
