Pattern in Mayweather's Glove Selection Process?

Hatton had a contract with Everlast.

I don't know man, these look like really bad knees, the way he sprints across the ring so fast?

WTF Sergio Martinez, is that GIF in fast forward mode or what? I don't remember this from the actual fight

It is what it is. The A - side gets to make decisions. It happens in every fight. I don't like it, but I understand.

Hatton had a contract with Everlast.

Does he? I always thought he wore "Lonsdale" gloves....

Just had a look at his fights - he's never worn Everlast except with Floyd from what I can see.

Fights before Floyd, he wore Reyes or Lonsdale. Every fight after Floyd, he wore Reyes.

Just did a bit of Google image research since the topic of Mayweather's choice of gloves against Maidana is hot right now. I noticed a bit of a potential pattern.

Does Floyd tend to choose his opponent's gloves when he considers them to be a puncher?

Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez were never threats to Mayweather in terms of pure punching power. And what do we see? They're wearing Everlast/Reyes gloves whilst Floyd wears his usual Grants...





His next fight was Shane Mosley. Shane is considered a huge puncher and from what I've seen, he wore Reyes in almost all of his fights leading up to Mayweather but then....



Robert Guerrero was coming up from lightweight and doesn't really have any pop. He was allowed to wear Reyes by Floyd....



Thoughts?

You're either a flowmo or you're racist... which one is it gonna be?

It might be a little sped up, but Martinez did run at Cotto because I guess Cotto thought the round was over but there was actually ~2 seconds left giving Martinez the time to run and attempt to punch Cotto off guard

He still looks gimpy as *** trying to run

I thought Martinez was gonna spear Cotto.
