Best Color for Gloves

**Guest** · 05-02-2005, 05:53 AM

I actually saw an item in Boxing News where they said some commission or other was looking into the colours of gloves as some could be registered on the eye more than others. Presumably they meant a red glove would be less potentially hazardous than, say, I dunno, a yellow glove, as you'd see it coming and take the punch better?

Would these gloves affect temperature greatly, I wonder? Your top choice being warmest, white coldest?

Coming up next: someone posts "yo dis fred sux *** yoos."

white gloves make u look faster. apparently black gloves more difficult to pick up with the eye. amateurs wear different color gloves 2 each other, so color shouldnt matter 2 much.

Just from the perspective of watching a fight as a spectator I prefer when boxers use black or red gloves to especially light blue or white.

Where does yellow and green come into it?

I've always favored black or red.

Did they ever make pink?

I like white, but Black and Red I prefer the most...

Transparent gloves are the best. Makes the opponent see your wrapped fists coming at him for more of a psychological effect.

What about white with a blood-stained effect that you add to between rounds? That would **** somebody up.

Pretender, are you crashing on my turf?
