Why is there no uniform Boxing ring size?

Their boots should be nailed to the floor and we should do away with rounds.

Smaller div need smaller rings
Bigger div need bigger rings

Why does it change by feet depending on the fight? Imagine an NFL field or NBA court changing dimensions based on what the teams prefer?

That seems armature.

Baseball fields are not the same

Soccer pitches vary.

They have minimums and maximums like boxing.

Cause it’s one of the ways to manipulate the game. Same goes for standardizing boxing gloves.

[OnePunch]

There’s no league that oversees the sport so each event has things like ring size, glove size etc.. that are negotiated.
The A side fighter usually gets the say. If your a counter puncher like Canelo or Mayweather you want a bigger ring to move without getting caught on the ropes. If your a power puncher like a GGG or Wilder you will push for a smaller ring so you can stay in close range and pressure the other guy.

glove size is not negotiated. It is regulated by the ABCs. Typically up to 147 wears 8oz, and over that wears 10oz.


Glove BRAND can be negotiated, as Floyd and other marquee fighters have done, forcing opponents to wear a particular brand.

Then I assume a sensible size is agreed upon where the little guys are not fighting on a soccer field and the giants aren't rubbing bellies ?

On the top professional cards, its the main event fighters that determine ring size in nearly all cases
