yeah, and it aint enough for Maidana to beat Floyd with.
NSAC approved the Reyes gloves, Floyd camp vehemently rejected them. Guess you have more confidence in Floyd than he does:steven:
no, I am not his manager. his team does what they want to do. if he has that kind of power, then expect him to use it. doesnt matter if the gloves are approved. the point is, glove selection doesnt grossly affect the outcome of this type of fight. its different if you have somebody like Randall Bailey against Josesito or somebody....and even that isnt a good example because Bailey hands aint busy enough a lot of times. That's just the way it is nowadays. Floyd choosing gloves, Ward wont fight out of Oakland....etc... This has more to do with leverage than confidence. This is business. I dont think you guys understand.....are these bytchmade tactics? from where we are sitting yeah...but everywhere a person or persons have leverage they will use it. and they dont have to be anywhere close to a boxing ring. this is more about hierarchy.
so now you need Reyes gloves to beat Floyd?
he dont even have a puncher's chance because he not a big puncher. he couldnt stop Broner but hit him with everything but the kitchen sink. Maidana has to catch him with a punch he doesnt see...and thats not likely. or catch him with a GOOD body shot. the gloves dont matter that much unless a fighter is getting hit clean ALOT.
You aint watch the fight didnt you.
You see that work:steven:

JLC did better work.
this fight will look like JLC II
Let's not act like JLC 2 wasn't a close competitive fight too.
Floyd won it clearly, but nikkas be acting like JLC only won 2 rounds in the rematch.

Maidana's not a big puncher?
Gloves matter alot breh.....why else do you think Floyd wont let him wear approved MX and Reyes gloves?
Yes he has the leverage to demand his pitty pat gloves but lets not act like Floyd doesnt know hes potentially staring down the barrel of a Roy v. Tarver II should he let Maidana choose a glove that is both approved by the NSAC and a glove already widely used.
The outcome of this fight is coming down to glove selection and both teams know it. Maidana need to put his balls on the table and stand his ground on that. I could understand compromising and trying to pull it off the first fight, but now its obvious where the spread lies.
Gloves can and will neutralize a punchers KO potential. Floyd obviously knows this and has been using this tactic for quite a few fights now.

comparing a 165 pound women to a 165 pound man?
Did research on it just now, and yes he did let Cotto wear the Everlast MX gloves, BUT he made Cotto use 10 oz gloves for the fight instead of the standard 8 oz gloves that's used at the 154 weight limit
Boxing really is a business brehs
Floyd can beat Cotto anyways, regardless the weight, but he's winning the fights before even entering the ring.....he's winning them at the negotiations table.
10 oz gloves Floyd?
He's neutralizing people's power like you said
dont forget ring size being in the contracts...ive seen some tiny rings.
i would have to agree with floyds demands though
his fights offer too much money
