    Yes or no? I think there is a possibility he will demand the use of bigger gloves.. He doesn't want to get hit by Pacquiao when he is wearing 8oz Reyes gloves.

    Good question. I think it sounds very plausible that he might do that to somewhat diminish his power shots.

    yes. he will probably whine becuase 10oz is the regulation size starting at welterweight. and he has brittle hands and its easier to block with hard to sneak a punch throgh the gloves with. great for people looking to out point. plus he loves his grants

    What's wrong with you people? Do you guys realize that Mayweather has only fought with 10 oz. gloves twice? Do you also realize that he complained about having to wear them?

    Don't be offended, I am not disrespecting Floyd and don't disrespect fighters. I was not aware of that fact. However, I could see how he could say that to take little off of Pac's popping punches. Strategy not calling him a whiner or nothing.

    He Will! This is probably one of his main concerns beside the split! You know Pac wants the 8oz gloves, His last 3 fights thats what he's been wearing and you see the results.

    Will Roach and Pacquiao demand a catch weight? That is the bigger question than gloves. :deal

    No way Pac's camp will agree to 10oz anyhow, Floyd can wear them if he wants but Pac wont.

    If you're a good defense fighter like Floyd, you don't care about reducing the other guy's power. He's fought pretty much his whole career with 8 oz. gloves, he can take the punches; what little actually land. The smaller gloves are an advantage to him. There will be plenty of countering opportunities. The more power he has, the better he will be able to take advantage of these openings.
