    And what does Floyd do? He takes away any advantages that the opponent might have before they even get in the ring because he's scared about losing that manufactured 0

    Here, wear these pillows Maidana

    :huh How can you say those were pillows? Maidana still wore 8 ounce gloves but there was a bit more padding on his knuckles.
    The only gloves someone can say are pillows are sparring gloves. And even with 12 ounce sparring gloves you can KTFO someone.

    But it was a ***** move from Floyd. Its not like Maidana would have beaten him if he wore different gloves.

    Damn, he had him out on his feet with headgear on. Without headgear he would have laid him out cold for sure. That was perfectly timed and his sparring partner didn't see it coming.

    While there are differences between gloves the difference between 2 8oz set of gloves is not the difference between marshmallow filled pillows and slightly padded bringers of death and destructions

    The right punch connecting in the right spot regardless of the glove being 8oz or 18oz will knock somebody out

    8oz gloves vs 8oz gloves, but they're somehow pillows?

    Some simply have to say something negative about Floyd at all times

    Its not like fans are randomly bringing this issue up. Maidana and his camp are the ones complaining so it clearly matters enough that they would try their best to get the gloves they want.
