Amir Khan and Pacquiao Drug Accusations

Nice comback to defend your position. Grown man but you can't defend your statements like one. You are nothing but a groupee. Every thread has you and a bunch of other nonsense talking fools defending the same ****. You don't know what the **** you are even talking about. When did Mosley fail a test? How is a urine test the best, when clearly it didn't catch Mosley. Can you answer that like a grown man?

17. GLOVES
The gloves for the main event fighters must be new, while all other gloves must be in new or good condition. There must be a backup pair of gloves at the commission table for each different size and brand glove used during the event. For boxing and kickboxing bouts, eight ounce gloves are to be used for contestants weighing 135 pounds or less and ten ounce gloves for contestants weighing above 135 pounds. However, contestants weighing in over 135 but not more than 147 pounds may wear 8 ounce gloves in competition if and only if both athletes agree to do so in writing. All gloves must be thumb-attached. For any title bout, the gloves for the championship contestants to select must be available at the weigh-in. There needs to be four sets of gloves for each different title
fight available at the weigh-in for the contestants to try on.

Came across an older thread where this was debated as well.

Nevada amended this rule, to give participants a CHOICE (to BOTH wear 8oz), based on the Margarito and Cotto fight, back in 2008.

Floyd was accommodating Pac on this one. Of course, he benefits to an extent too (in terms of retaining speed and power), provided his hands are wrapped well (or, as some would surmise, he gets his Xylocaine injection :yep).

 

I don't see 8oz gloves as an issue as it would benefit Floyd more than Pacman.

 

Yeah right! having your father call Manny a drug user in front of media men is a very professional way of handling things. FFS! The professional way to do it was to bring the issue straight to the commission. MORONS!

 

Also for Mayweather thinking he is the boss of Pac. I think it has more to do with Mayweather giving in to all DLH's demands and yet beating him. I think he feels he put in the work by sacrificing in order to be able to call the shots today. Then in the 2nd negotiation that "never was". Mayweather put in the work again to prove to be the bigger draw and solidify blood testing by fighting and defeating Mosley.

To much pride on both sides but that's usually the way it is in boxing.

 

Yep I have been saying that over and over again. Change the commission drug test policy.

Pacman has also said that.

 

This has already been discussed before. The commission won't change their policy overnight to make this fight happen. It would take a long time, and it's not likely to happen at all.

 

Come on man. Floyd has worn 10 oz gloves and 8 oz...and won in both. 10 oz are really better for his hands. But, if his hands are wrapped well, 8 oz will help his speed and power. But, look at the DLH fight, he buckled Oscar, in 10 oz gloves.

PAC is the one that has NEVER (to my knowledge) engaged in a professional bout, in gloves heavier that...8OZ. Trust....MANNY would accept nothing less. And if Floyd pressed for 10oz, and did not budge, the negotiations would've stopped there.

Remember when Manny had to wear even a different brand of gloves ("Winning" brand), vs Morales? He blamed the loss on the GLOVES (that was one his excuses, anyway), even though they were still 8oz....just not Reyes.

Here Manny is again, making a big deal over glove size against Oscar...

I agree.

 

I'm sure Mayweather didn't order his father to do so for negotiation purposes. If anything his father actions may have hurt Mayweather's negociation leverage.

 

Just replying on how sorry your comment is.

Boxing has become more of a game of politics more than being just boxing itself. It's become a huge business for promoters and fighters. Shane Mosley was one of the biggest names of the sport and yet, he was never detected of using EPO until somebody brought it up. I'm not saying that Pac is also doing the same exact thing BUT the fact If Pac was really using steroids, he would have been caught using it already because like what I said, he was tested twice and one of them was random.

 

You said it Floyd will benefit from 8oz gloves. Pacman will be handicapped by a 10oz gloves.

Floyd agreeing to 8 oz gloves is a non issue for me. It will help his speed and power anyway as you said it.

 

This fight is worth more then depending on that commission to change there rules. I also don't believe that the commission will look to invest the amount of money it would cost to change those rules and add OSDA for all championship fights. It will always be up to the fighters to come up with the money for that. 14 days should have been good enough for Pac the first time. 7 days should be good enough for Mayweather today.

 

They're even if that's the case.

Floyd claiming he wants to cleanup the sport leave him no other option but to go up to the commission on existing drug test policy.

 

Mayweather is also at a higher risk to break his hands fighting Pac in 8 ounce gloves. 10 ounce gloves on the other hand helps Mayweather's defense as well as protects his hands. 10 ounce gloves may also make Pac uncomfortable since he has never worn them and may slow him down some. Or allow his superstitions to take hold of his mental state. 10 ounce gloves is a clear advantage for Mayweather and are also Nevada State Commision rules.

Giving in to 8 ounce gloves is a concession by Mayweather.
