Tyson was into "Touching Gloves" just like Shane

    Mosley is too nice.
    He tries to be likable, but now he is one of the most hated.

    This is the type of attitude to have in the ring imo. Tyson wanted to eat you alive, there was no Mr Nice guy.

    Mosley is almost a bit bi-polar in the ring with the glove touching though. He's always touched gloves a lot, being sportsmanlike, and then a few seconds later, he's trying to break your ribs.

    Yup but Shane took things to a new level Saturday. Shane was murderous at Lightweight, and wanted to take your damn head off.

    He's lost any fire he once had in the ring - sad to see. I do really hope Shane has one last fight and picks up a win, and gives us one more decent performance. Shane is being forgotten because of his lack of commitment Saturday.

    In my honest opinion, Shane was trying to get extra seconds with all the glove touching, coming out of his corner late, the overrating to headbutts. Those extra seconds kept Manny from trying to get him, especially in the later rounds when he was getting really tired and was struggling to move from Manny's offence which was finally starting to get the old man.

    I honestly think the glove touching was Shane hoping that if he showed all that respect that Pacquiao would subconsciously be a little easier on him. Shane was tactically trying to put Manny in sparring mode. after the knockdown, it was over for Shane and I think he just wanted to finish on his feet.

    I like Maidana's version better. When Khan raised his glove to offer a tap, Maidana just said, "That's quite endearing, Sir. Pardon me, but I would like to tap your chin instead."

    The glove touching was nearly as annoying as the fat ******* who was taking an extra 5 seconds to leave the ring every single round in Mosley's corner but Kenny Bayless didn't say anything.

    It definitely seemed like Mosley was killing time with all the glove tapping. Plus it's one thing to touch gloves after an accidental low blow to say 'no harm no foul', it's obnoxious when it's done after every time someone steps on a foot or heads touch in a southpaw vs. orthodox fight.
