Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Explains Ariza Situation, MX Gloves

[Bigg Rigg]

I don't know about all that. until next time.

Oscar, Sugar Ray, didn't pull a bait and switch, then justify it by saying, I am the a side.

Hagler isn't saying 20 years later, that Sugar Ray bait and switched gloves on me, and it affected the outcome of the fight.

When all else fails, blame it on being the a side. Lol

exactly!! but dunn will ignore that and will just keep repeating that other fighters have done the same in the pass.

And that's still a pussay move in any sport.

But then why does Floyd say stuff like "I want my opponent to be comfortable"?

but I thought floyd wants things to be in an even playing field? Oh well as long as floyd gets his "privaledges" it doesnt matter. Maidana cant wear the gloves that are approved by the commission, but big dunn responds with, "he can doe". Hypocracy much???? lol

hahahaha thats a good floydiot excuse. 154 lbs REQUIRE 10 oz gloves, also, it was in the CONTRACT, unlike what floyd did to maidana, which was NOT in their contract.

weight of the gloves and type of gloves are 2 different things dude. I know you aren't that knowledgeable so let the other guys handle this.

The gloves were changed after they were examined, which was the night of the fight. there was no way it could've happened before then.

for this fight, which the video is about, the glove issue has been decided well in advance. As such, it isn't an issue.

floyd talks about being on an even playing field thats why he wants his opponents tested and the floyd fans goes crazy over it talking about floyd doesnt want his opponents to cheat and juice up, etc.

floyd dictate what brand glove his opponent has to wear, floyd even denied the commsion approved gloves. floyd fans: oh floyd is the a-side when u're the a-side u can do what u want, take it or leave it.


what happen to being on an even playing field?? LOL!!!

[BattlingNelson]

why? u didnt answer u just said he doesnt have too. why pull such a move for an easy work dunn?

Dunn answered your question. Floyd makes Maidana wear the gloves Floyd wants Maidana to wear because Floyd is in a position to make such a power move. Its basic take it or leave it.

It doesn't mean that it isn't a b!tchy move because it obviously is. I believe Dunn can agree with this right Dunn?

[Vasyl’s dad]

Because he doesn't have to. you and others may not like it, but that's the way it is. Accept it and move on.

So do you, Jarrod, accept that there is no even playing field?

Pretty much. I don't care what any other poster thinks about the move Batt. I've never thought glove choice was a ***** move in any fight.

[gamefrk]

respectfully dude, you can't try and evaluate this in the context of a line he used to hype the Cotto fight and make cotto look more of a threat because he had lost previously to manny and margs. That's a tactic evol uses.

your posts suggest you are smart enough to know that so I'm not going to play with you. If you want to debate, fine.

I'm smart enough to know that there's good & then there's bad in the sport of boxing..& I don't support the bad irrespective of who it comes from (Floyd, Oscar etc). Shyt like this can't be defended.

Yeah right, I can't use something what Floyd himself said around his fight with Cotto against Floyd. Are you even serious when you say stuff like that? Cotto was coming off a 3 fight win streak (Foreman, Mayorga & Margarito) into the Floyd fight. Despite that 3 win streak + sold out crowd at Madison square garden where he beat the pulp out of his biggest rival you think Floyd said that stuff to make Cotto seem more of a threat? SMH.
