Marcos would have won that fight with his gloves
Keith Thurman says the EXACT same thing I said about Floyd/Maidana 1: Floyd played with him
- Thread starter O.T.I.S.

The issue was not the brand of glove
Floyd was about 17 years deep in his career at the time, it wasnt the first time he fought an opponent in mx gloves..lol
The issue was the lack of padding that was in the customized mx gloves that maidana was trying to fight with. There was no padding in dat shyt. They were trying to be sneaky. If it was any other fighter besides floyd pointin this out, maidanas camp would of got a lot of hate
Floyd has fought harder punchers and better fighters den maidana and always let them choose their own gloves. Never been a issue. Maidana was trying to cheat
ALL the mx gloves he had on the table were the same

Simply not true

Should Never Mention Me
No one "let's" someone maul them for 12 rounds 
Once Floyd figured out the way Maidana was working inside he started to prevent it. Did it the entire rematch because he had it figured.

That's putting it nicely...
In terms of roughhouse tactics this fight was every bit as bad as Hatton/Tszyu...
I was waiting for Maidanato hit Floyd with a stone cold stunner...

He was also getting those Ariza shakes in training camp; and we all saw what happened between one of those rounds in the Broner fight where Ariza gave him something in a cloth to breathe in

I think he rather got a better training and got taught to use his jabHe was also getting those Ariza shakes in training camp; and we all saw what happened between one of those rounds in the Broner fight where Ariza gave him something in a cloth to breathe in

This narrative that fighters, and Floyd of all people, carried a fighter by taking punishment to "prove" something is beyond dumb
I don't care if people who get hit in the face for a living say it or not.

It isnt dumb at all
The maidana fight just wasnt the case
Floyd stoodn toe to toe with cotto to prove a point
Leonard also stood toe to toe with duran his first fight to prove a point
This dudes have egos, and the higher elite guys are so good that they can win in a lot of different ways. Gettin punched in the face isnt a big deal to them. Been happenin their entire lives lol
