    One of the best Face-off's and it's not even in English. I hope the translation was correct, which only adds to their mannerisms/facial expression as they were saying it.

        Naw man, I don't support the A side manipulating the B to this extreme.. but to each his own. I did think of making the results of this poll visible to the public, but decided against it. I don't think too many users would've voted if they knew the results are public. But to each his own

          Where was the public outcry when such A sides like Oscar, Cotto, Pac, etc had made demands of their own????? Whether it had been weight stipulations, gloves, etc...where was the outcry? Floyd isn't the first guy to make clauses, but a lot of people on here are sure making it sound like it...

            He's the first guy to do it the night before a fight, while at the same time him and Ellerbe act surprised horse hair is in gloves and proclaim a crusade against horse hair in gloves. (all in one night). Then we come to find out Cotto used the gloves against him and his own TMT fighters use the gloves.

                This subject is an issue ONLY bcuz of Floyd. When Oscar chose Floyd's gloves, none of you had an issue with it. Social media has given us access to things that typically wasn't common knowledge. Now everything is a controversy..

                  Fans of Floyd will always overlook this particular piece of relevant information

                    He's not the first to complain about gloves before the fight and won't be the last...the commission even turned down the first pair of gloves. Are you saying the only way Maidana can win is by using special gloves? Can't he get by on skill or dominating rounds or does he need specific gloves? It's not like they are pillows, you guys are being over-dramatic.

                      Amen. Floyd is always telling reporters that they need to do their research. He just discovered horse hair? Give me a break. By the way, those custom gloves did look a little thin on padding, so if those were thrown out in favor of stock MX I would not have a problem. To say that is why people are dying though was ridiculous.
