i decided to roll to big 5 just to see what they had and left with 16 oz boxing gloves, hand wraps, bag gloves, and head gear. i am a heavyweight and i am wondering are 16 oz gloves too big? ha, they, just look so damn big when i wear them.

You're gonna use them for training or sparring? Training, it's fine but I like using 12 oz. for sparring.

i'm not going to use them for training, just sparring and fighting. but i'm not sure if they are too big, if they are, i am going to take them back. hmmm, the guy that was there was telling me to get 16 oz gloves because he thought i'd hurt people in sparring or something. weird kid, but i went with it.

IDK, I personally like to use 12-14 oz. for sparring as they're lighter and your goal isn't to strength the arms by added resistance.

If your a heavyweight and a big puncher, 16 oz gloves should be good. 12 oz are too light. They don't offer any protection.

We have to use 16oz when sparring, so im sure they would be fine.

Wow, we use 12-14 for sparring.
