    Hi.

    LeonMcS here.

    I'm sure a few of you have been following the whole argument of the Green handwraps issue. I know I have. Its been very spirited don't you agree?

    But it got me to thinking.

    Have we been looking at both sides of the argument? Were we focusing on the right guy?

    Heres a pic from the fight. Note Roys trunks. This is an important detail we can use later to correlate some other info. (And no Mel, I'm not talking about the Great Barrier Reef).

    Heres another. No reason really, I just like this one better.

    You ever wonder what Roys wraps looked like before the fight?

    You know, I didn't. Until I happened to come across these pics, taken in Roys change room, before the fight.

    Bette Midler once sang 'From a distance...'

    How about we get closer?

    Big wraps dont equate to cement wraps.

    That applies to either Green or jones

    I was going to say the same noobie but i didnt want to get into another debate about the whole thing, i cropped the pics and put them side by side as a comparison, side by side they look just about the same, Roys look a little bigger but the one thing i did notice is Roys wrap looks soft, it does not look compressed! Greens however looked compressed. I think we are clutching at straws until the court case sheds more light on this one guys!

    My first thought is (in the last picture) how can Roy's wraps be soft if there is definition between each finger/knuckle even at that size? This would suggest that the material is compressed and pushed out?
