    That is a really good question, are they really that much better for the knuckles?
    Mayweather wears Grant gloves because his hands are brittle. I've seen Winky wear Grant Gloves and it looked like their was a lot of pad into it, so yes it obviously helps.

        yeh this is true, but any fighter could hurt jones if they could land a punch, but there is no way in hell calzaghe will land that many punches on jones

          1000 punches a fight? I think a few will land.

              At first I was going to say 1000 punches means more chances for Roy to counter, BUT if he does manage to counter and stun or knock down Joe he would probably not go after him and let Joe come back..

                My main concern for Roy Jones Jr?

                That his flight home from the UK will be an unhappy one. I must admit that his showboating spoiled the fight for me, he should have more class and should have shown Tito a bit more respect IMO.

                Personally I enjoyed the Golota v Mollo bout much more. It was like David v Goliath but this time Goliath one, albeit with an eye that looked like ladyflaps!

                  Grant gloves with a Lonsdale sticker on, actually (because Lonsdale were being pissy about Joe having an exclusive contract with them)

                      Roy needs to be careful how he schedules opponents and he can keep winning for a while.

                      But Calzaghe is a KO loss, so is Dawson probably and Kessler as well.

                      He needs to stick to the "old man's club", maybe try to fight Winky and maybe 'Nard II or Tarver IV if he thinks he's still sharp...
