So does GGG still used those funky gloves?

    He uses Grant gloves. Similar to the ones Floyd Mayweather uses. Gabe Rosado is just a sore loser.

    Yeah, its not like he went back to winning after that fight or something. He gets busted up just brushing his teeth in the morning.

    :D Almost every other guy Rosado has faced left him a bloody mess win or lose. He is an idiot.

    Grant distributes the padding on their gloves more evenly than Reyes or Everlast. Especially the Grant all foam padded gloves. Floyd uses the all foam version.

    Exactly. Haters were calling them "pillows" until GGG started knocking people out with them. Lara wears them, Canelo wears them, Rigondeaux wears them too.

    If you pack a hard punch it really doesn't matter what glove you wear. Floyd likes the Grant Orthopedic which is all foam because it protects his hands. But he still injures them even with that glove. Floyd's hands are in worse shape than most think.

    That's because none of these guys have seen these fighters in real life. I'm in and out of Vegas and Cali. Andre Ward is 2 inches taller than me and is thin. Kovalev is not huge like he looks on TV and Floyd is small as hell. Tim Bradley, I saw himout in Cathedral City when I was going to Fantasy Springs casino to see a GBP fight, he looks like a midget.

    Fans are delusional about fighters altogether. Canelo has a house out in La Jolla, CA and runs on the beach. He looks like a 12 year old when a average sized man stands next to him.

    Yeah Bradley is small. People always look larger on TV. But like you said when you see them in person its different because you can size them up to scale.

    When we drive to Las Vegas we always stop in Barstow for food and gas. And sometimes if we don't feel like doing the whole 9-10 hour drive in one day we stay at a hotel up at the top of Tehachapi. Its a good half way point.

    What do most of our boxing idols looking like ripped HS freshman have to do with any of this? Did yall already forget the pictures w his massively distorted looking gloves mid fight? I know he wears grants...glove brand doesn't matter U less you actually box. Punching something w grants on is like punching a pillow. The non $300 everlast gloves feel like punching a rigid book. Rival and grant are my fav
