Mayweather vs. De La Hoya gloves issue. Is it BS?

[AeroSixxDynamite]

It's between Welterweight (147) and Junior Middleweight (154) where they transition between 8oz gloves and 10oz gloves, right?

So, which provides less protection for PBF's brittle hands?
- 8oz Winning gloves?
- Or 10oz Reyes gloves?
- Is it even an issue like the public/media is making it out to be?

I personally think PBF's new weight class at 154 negates the "Brand Of Gloves" issues here, but of course the only brand of gloves I've ever used and owned were the Everlast brand so I wouldn't know for sure for personal comparison.

Correct me if this topic has already been discussed.

10oz reyes gloves, it weighs more and it has less padding on the knuckles

Boxing is very much a mental game. How you view your opponent, the confidence you have as that bell rings. Some of the best fighters won because they were ****y enough to let their hands go without fear, to duck and move and let their game out. Do the gloves matter? I don't know. I'm not a boxer. I do know the mental game matters. If Floyd is at all worried about hurting his hands, or Oscar feels he has an edge - the fight could play out differently than if the gloves weren't an issue.

That's just Delahoya as usual trying to get every advantage that he can.

He's written into the contract that Mayweather must wear Reyes gloves, that he must be at a certain weight entering the ring and I even heard that the ring size will be smaller in order to negate the movement of Mayweather.

will DLH go as far as using a soft ring? (harder to move around in) to slow pbf down?

He'd have to use quick sand, to even have a chance.

I don't know about pad configuration.

But the Reyes 12 oz gloves I had were like ****ing Rocks.

The heavier the gloves, the harder the impact. I have two different styles of gloves at home. I don't know how to find out the weight of each glove. But my tiny gloves with barely any pading on it, move so fast!!! Yet, the red pair of gloves I own are fat and bulky and they feel heavy and add weight when I put them on my hands. But these gloves feel like I'm a heavy hitter landing hard punches... Well, this is what I feel like when I wear heavier boxing gloves... Don't know if its different for everyone@@@@@

They should wear them like Marquez and Barrera those things looked small and badass old school and also fast, I think they were 8 oz

[the_truth_1984]

Since the fight is at 154 they should use 10oz. gloves.
