    So by your logic a fighter could want 20 oz gloves for a fight, then decide later to go back to the standard 8 oz and it would be a concession. yea right. Oh and a fight at 160 but later he changes it back to his original weight class. Oh what a concession! lol

    And your list of concessions is the reason why people think Floyd never wanted the fight to begin with. Now that all his demands are met and even more from his previous demands, he keeps demanding additional things to make the fight impossible to make.

    If both fighters agree though, then they can use 8 oz gloves, but Floyd was the one who wanted standard gloves in this case. Not Pacquiao.

    And how did Floyd never want the damn fight because of that list when he compromised on all of them :rofl

    You really have to argue bout that? lol im sure you know that virtually all welterweight fights are 8 oz hence it being standard including Floyds fights. And that article is old, since then they have amended it.

    yes they amended it that both camps negotiate it out and if they don't come to an agreement, the choice is 10 oz which makes 10 oz standard :smooch

    you argue like floyd ill give you that lol. let's use your logic again, taking blood tests isnt required. Then how did floyd concede testing date to 14 days when it wasnt even required at the beginning.

    By your reasoning, Pacquiao accepting any kind of additional drug testing not required in the rules would be a concession on pac's part. :hi:

    8 vs 10 oz gloves became optional at 147 in Nevada when Cotto/Marg threatened to move the fight if they had to use 10 oz gloves. Cotto may have regretted that in hind site. Now 147 is 10, but 8 oz if both parties agree.

    yes you're right. Pacquiao accepting to a 24 day cutoff was a concession, but it wasn't good enough. I think and even thought back then that 14 days was too big of a window.

    Plus Pacquiao's weight penalty was there to insure that Floyd doesn't cheat
    Floyd OSDT was there to insure that both fighters don't cheat :rasta

    Not arguing if it's in the rules or not. Im saying that Floyd and other welterweights fighting with 8 oz gloves is the norm.

    I don't know what gloves Floyd prefers. He does have the hand problems so I could see him wanting the slightly larger glove to protect the hands more.

    No seriously BBallchump, you only post about Floyd. Do you enjoy any other boxers? Name them. You don't post about any other boxers. You honestly deserve psychiatric analytization.

    Yea but there's no rule in place for OSDT, while last time i checked coming in overweight i against the rules and can have heavy penalties by Nevada too including suspension/fines if it's egregious enough.

    And this proves that my floyd statement about you was correct! making contradicting statements like him too. I feel honored to have floyd visiting the boards and talking to me! :hammertime

    Void's demands are nothing but excuses for avoiding Pac. He did not demand anything for beating a woman. But will he soon do that?

    If Floyd can get Manny to promise to not hit back when the fight starts it may, just may happen
