So I just read an old article with Gabriel Rosado said that there was something off with Golovkins gloves. Dose anyone give this any credibility at all since he is the only one to say something like that?

What's his evidence?

Nothing concrete, really. He said "When he hit me in the first round, I just felt straight, solid wraps. It wasn't like it was just the impact of the glove." and "We both fought with Grants, but for whatever reason his Grants were missing a little more cushion on the knuckles"
Also saying he's never been cut by a punch before.

Every opponent's team (including Rosado's) examined Golovkin's glove before fights, and nobody protested. Rosado just wasn't hit by anybody like Golovkin before.

My thoughts exactly. Never heard anyone else complain.

People want to find reasons for things they can't explain, notice how their tune changes so often. The root of it is fear, things beyond understanding can scare even tough folks. GGG gets his hands thoroughly inspected, not one sketchy circumstance has been revealed. Bet that it would be exploited badly if there was anything close to an infraction. Never has been, likely never will be. Doesn't need help knocking guys out. It's what he was born to do.

People are complaining about getting hit in the face now?

I think the issue in this case is rather what was situated at the end of Golovkin's gloves.

It probably feels like it. He turns every punch over with perfect technique. That's extremely rare.

at the latest since cotto everyone is
extra careful checking opponents
gloves. doubt there is any merit to
it and to me it seems like throwing
dirt around to see what sticks. poor
form.

It was more looking for publicity when people started forgetting who Rosado was.

Bull shit

They have observers in his dressing room inspecting his gloves and watching him tape his hands and put on his gloves just like everybody else.

No.

About what needed to be said.

The commission gives you the gloves before the fight. Nobody bring their own
