    The touching of gloves all the time in the Mayweather & Pacquiao fights from Mosley annoyed the hell out of me. Yes touch gloves at the end of each round or before each round starts as a sign of respect or when a low blow is landed or a head butt but no more than that is too much. It was as if Mosley was touching gloves all the time as if to say lets be friends please go easy on me and it hurts me to say that because I am a massive Mosley fan but where was his warrior instinct in them fights?

    I hate when they do it, Floyd did the right thing and everyone should punch them in the face for doing it.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yeah I was a big Mosley fan but have lost respect for him in his last few fights. The Margarito fight was his swansong. Since then he has just wanted the money without giving it the effort. Prime Mosley would never beg for someone to go easy on him but thats how it looked last time. Now he has got a fight with Alvarez and I bet he does the same in that one.

    I remeber Eubank offering a glove to Benn, Nigel obliged and Eubank took a cheap shot. Benn mustve been embrassed by that.

    Nas tried to touch gloves with Barrera after he just got his head rammed into the turnbuckle Barrera ignored it and carried on putting a beating on him.

    I recently rewatched Mosley v Margarito and was about to make a similar thread. In that fight Margarito was getting owned and both fighters touched gloves every round, it's something I haven't noticed Margarito do before so it was maybe because he was getting beat up.
    Amir Khan wanted to touch gloves with Maidana and Peterson after the pressure started to get to him. Alot of fighters want to touch gloves or start to complain at every little incident when they start losing a fight. Zab Judah is a good example of some one who complains and fakes.

    Maybe its just some international sign from the weaker fighter telling the stronger fighter "I acknowledge that you are better fighter now please stop beating my ass"

    Kinda like the apes stroking each others palms in "Rise of the planet of the apes"

    I guess were all primal.
    The key is Self-discipline.
