Floyd Mayweather
By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - There is really only one thing Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. regrets looking back on his boxing career and it has something to do with his fight against Oscar De La Hoya.  At a recent press event in L.A. to help hype his May 5th battle against Miguel Cotto, "Money" Mayweather spoke to a few members of the press and at one point discussed how the only thing he really regrets is that he had to fight De La Hoya with 10-ounce heavyweight gloves.

“When I look back on my career, the only thing I really regret is when I fought Oscar De La Hoya, they gave me 10-ounce heavyweight gloves,” explained Mayweather. “I didn’t mind fighting in 10-ounce [gloves] but not 10-ounce heavyweight gloves. They gave me pillows. I think if I didn’t have pillows, I think I could have went out there and chopped him up the way I should have chopped him up. And I think that I could have given the fans more excitement in that fight. But I couldn’t choose my gloves. I couldn’t choose the weight class. I couldn’t choose anything. But I got the victory. And that is the only thing I look back and wish I could have given [the fans] more excitement. But fighting a guy who is weighing 160-something pounds and I’m wearing pillows is not a comfortable feeling."

"Money" Mayweather went on to defeat De La Hoya with a split decision.
