Is Mayweather Refusal To Let Any Boxer Wear HorseHair Gloves FAIR?

[eco1]

He only did that against Maidana because Maidana tried to cheat at first with the unpadded gloves. It was more a power move than anything, he faced bigger punchers than Maidana and they wore whatever they wanted to wear.

I also believe that all fighters should wear the same kind of gloves so that everything is level, it's not about who has the tougher hands so that he can wear harder gloves to hurt his opponent, so if nobody has problems with foam gloves then all fighters should wear foam gloves, plus heavyweights should be wearing significantly bigger gloves than super welterweights, i think for ever 20 lbs span there has to be a specific glove size, not only 2 sizes for all weights.

That is not true at all.

I already told him, it's a lie fl0mos tries to spread to defend his coward idol.

If it had been an even playing field with gloves, ring etc...Floyd would be wearing a diaper and helmet right now, eating through a straw and choking in a cloud of his own methane while Floyd Sr, Roger and Jeff walked around Vegas making it rain at titty bars, wearing $5,000 1980's style suits driving Floyd's cars getting involved in fender benders, buying drinks for the whole crowd at strip clubs eating at casinos every night for free after gambling 20k and ingesting mountains of cocaine all on Floyd Jr's tab.

Floyd started all this by trying to cherry pick 1 of 2 opponents that people didn't even fathom to be in the running then Floyd picks the loser in the poll.

Then going into the fight, Floyd's team and Schaeffer promote the fight by calling Maidana a KO artist.

24 hours to the fight, they remove the KO artist's gloves.

Just say you hate Mayweather and get it over with. The practice of the "A" side dictating terms like ring size, gloves, entrance and headline have gone on for years. Why the big fuss now?

Personally, I thought it was chicken**** that Maidana wasn't allowed to wear the gloves of his choice during the rematch but I didn't sweat it because the same type of crap happened to Mayweather when he faced De La Hoya. It's just par of the business...were you also upset when Klitschko got caught altering the floor padding for his fight with Fury?

False, false, false. Maidana didn't try to cheat. Mayweather also tried to change Paquiao's horsehair gloves at last minute too. Did Pacquiao try to cheat too?

Maidana was forced to use bigger gloves by contract in the second fight. Mayweather wanted to reduce his power as much as possible, don't bull shiet on us.

****ing fl0mo.

That is not true at all.

First of all Maidana didn't wear bigger gloves in any of the fights, they were both 8 Oz. gloves but with foam padding, the first gloves Maidana wanted to use (with the Argentinian flag on them) had almost no padding on the knuckles and the NSAC rejected them, then they brought another gloves that the NSAC approved but Mayweather's camp rejected, then Maidana had to wear the same gloves Mayweather wore with the foam padding.

What Mayweather did with Maidana was a power move to punish Maidana for trying to fight with unpadded gloves. Plus if you know a damn thing about boxing, camps try to get every advantage they can get going into a fight that big, why did Freddie Roach complain about the way Floyd was getting his hands wrapped? Floyd puts extra padding on his hands (which is actually better for Pacquiao) to protect them from being broken during the fight, Freddie did it cuz that's exactly what Freddie wanted , for Floyd in injure his hand in the fight like he always did.

FLoyd fought bigger punchers than Maidana and they all wore the gloves they wanted to wear, and they were all better than Maidana technically, but they all came up short.

Do your homework kid, do your homework.

That is not true at all.

Pretty sure the commission agreed with Mayweather that Maidanas custom gloves weren't acceptable.

You blew them out of the water lol .

And Floyd allowed Cotto to use the very same gloves Maidana wanted, it had nothing at all to do with the glove brand or type like the guy above said it was to punish Maidana for trying to pull a fast one on him .

eh? the only part you got right is:

if you know a damn thing about boxing, camps try to get every advantage they can get going into a fight that big

Because that is what happened. The NSAC didn't approve Maidana's gloves at first, but they approved a regular Everlast MX pair, and Mayweathers rejected them too. The fact that they also made a complaint about Pacquiao's gloves and cup, let's you know what the real issue was the whole time. The fact that he forced Maidana to use Everlast Powerlocks also in the rematch, tells you it was a planned move all along.

So, yes, the answer, as me and the OP said, is that Mayweather tried to nulify Maidana's power. Period. Maidana didn't cheat. The gloves were ok. Everlast CEO:

Everlast CEO Neil Morton defended his company's manufacturing process for the boxing gloves and said he believes the dispute was simply a case of Mayweather seeking a psychological edge.

Morton said the custom gloves are manufactured exactly the same way as the stock gloves and the only difference is a different color of leather is used. He said he is willing to cut the gloves open to prove that to anyone who questions the validity of his claim. He said he didn't understand why the custom gloves were ruled invalid.

However, it could be that the commission was simply trying to broker a deal and placate Mayweather, given that the stock red gloves had been approved.

You *****s are very funny with that justification you make of: "Maidana tried to cheat, so Mayweather punished him for that". How stupid can you be? my god. Mayweather the justice man LMAO.
