Wow that would be a serious diffrence considering Floyd's gloves are usually puffy and fat. Where did you hear this?
It was on boxingscene. Apparently Floyd feels a little resentful for having to wear what he called "heavyweight gloves" vs De la Hoya and I guess he thinks he could have done better with smaller gloves.

All I can tell you is Cotto is a BRUTAL puncher with smaller gloves, look at his opponents at 140-147, they constantly had damage from those big left hooks.
