    They will wear 8-ounce gloves, but can pick whatever brand they want. So Pacman can wear "punchers" gloves if he wants, Floyd can wear a different brand. Both will have the 8 ounce gloves on though.

    Pacman will train for half of the camp in the same place he did for Cotto, then the other half back at Wildcard.

    "Winner takes all" has a nice ring to it for me.

    "Legacy", "pound for pound" etc sound too cliched and unimaginative.

    Although "Fire and Ice" is pretty cool too

    But who would be fire and who would be ice?

    Fire = Pac?
    ice = PBF?

    Even if Pac loses his legacy remains unharmed.

    Pac-man supposedly said he will begin working out in 3 weeks and train a total of 12 weeks. I can't verify that. I imagine it would just workout for 4 weeks, nothing too strenuous, then the normal 8 week training camp. They have a lot of strategic work to do. His last 3 opponents were all left-handed, orthodox fighters who relied mostly on the the left-hand so he has gotten used to that. Probably a good idea for Roach to sit down early before camp even starts and talk about the strategy. If Manny is going to start training that quick, I doubt his ear is any problem them. Besides, he won't do sparring for quite a while anyway, even if he does 12 weeks total.
