Floyd usually fights in 8oz gloves, so this will likely help him more than conor.
Against tiny men.
Yeah, Manny Pac does that also. Against world class boxers. How'd his fight with Floyd go?False. Conor always pushes the pace, he is the aggressor. Every fight he pushes forward. Even Nate backtracked in the first few rounds.

This is the real reason why, another piece of info to keep the fight in the headlines leading into the fight.So how many ppv buys does this add?
So are you saying here that Conor McGregor is a better boxer than Manny Pacquiao was when Pac fought Floyd? I just want to understand what I'm dealing with here.Manny was past he's prime. And Floyd has fought lot of tough guys who are short and stocky and have small arms. While we have no evidence he got the skill to beat Floyd, his definitely has the longer reach, movement and bulk and fighting IQ to win?
You cant say that Floyds hands will be faster in 8oz gloves without acknowledging Conors hands will also be slightly faster. Since its widely accepted that Conor needs to land "one big punch" to win this fight...I cant see how anyone can think this doesnt favour him. Floyd can out box Conor all day long in 8oz or 10oz...it doesnt make a difference. But now Conors hands will be a little faster and his knuckles will have a little less padding and Floyd will have a little less glove for defence. All helping Conor land that "one big punch" he needs. This decision favours Conor all day.There isn't any significant difference in how much power you can generate with 8oz vs 10oz. It's a myth. What this will favor is Floyd's hand speed, because the gloves are lighter.
When has Conor ever fought in a brawling type style? I understand that you have to create something to believe in, but don't try to sell me that shit sandwhich. He's counter puncher. He doesn't have the stamina, skill or experience to fight in a brawling type style.
He's not going to box him. He's not going to brawl him. Is he going to lure him into a game of touch butt?Who said he would brawl? That would literally be the worst game plan in the history of combat sports.
Conor will paint many different pictures.

Because Pac was only 6 months removed from doing this to Chris Algieri at that time.
You KNOW he outboxed Malignaggi? We saw 10 seconds of the footage. And Malignaggi is a midget with no power.I said he was past his prime and he was injured. Boxers have padded records. Was this Chris, boxer any good Had he the ability to beat a elite fighter?
Nobody has a clue how good a boxer Conor is, but we know he outboxed Paulie Malignaggi retired or not the guy had 40 boxing fights and it looks like he could not win a round against Conor. Floyd is a different animal, but who knows?
he was waiting all night for that counter right hand...If anybody thinks Conor hits harder than Canelo Alvarez, they are delusional.

And yes, Algieri was very good. He was an undefeated, multi-weight, world champ in Kickboxing and then went on to win a world title in boxing.
Mayweda is fooked if he plays touch butt with Conor.He's not going to box him. He's not going to brawl him. Is he going to lure him into a game of touch butt?
