    Khan's Gloves?

    How long has Amir been wearing those gloves. I noticed that his gloves seems bigger than Malinangi. They might be wearing diffirent ounce of gloves. Some gloves are also made diffirent shapes, example is Pac wears known as pucnher style gloves. I know its made by Reebok but it look likes its the same size on what Winky Wright uses.

    Did he change his glove style after he got KO'ed by Prescott?

    Rebock gloves are notorious for their emphasis on powder puff shots. They also help fighters with fragile hands.

    Also Khan has sponsorship deals. In other words he is trapped by reebok

    another point to make is that the cloves may have appeared bigger due to the black and white contrast. Compare this to Ortiz vs maidana where maidana had pure red gloves and ortiz had green/white.

    There was an illusion that ortiz gloves looked bigger, but I am pretty sure it was the contrast.

      Why did harold lederman say he's never seen a fighter wear Reebok gloves before and that Khan is the only one he's known of?

      I swear I've seen quite a few over the years.

        Didn't notice that about Ortiz-Maidana fight.

        I have seen the Khan in 3 fights-Prescott, MAB, and Malinangi. Only in Malinangi is where i noticed it.

        Does he have fragile hands?

          Never seen any boxer wear Reebok except for Khan. I have seen Reebok boxing advertise in a a British boxing mag, its either Boxing Montly or Boxing Guide.

          I know only of Cleto Reyes, Everlasdt, Winning, and Grant gloves.

          About Grant gloves, i have noticed that black(African-Americans) wears them. I do not mean to offend with this, no racial.

            The only real logical reason is sponsorships deals.

            with that larry holmes jab, I doubt he has fragile hands

              I think he just wasn't aware that Reebok sponsored Khan.

                Man he needsto change his contract so hes able to wear different make of gloves. Floyed has sponsor deals with reebok but uses diferent gloves. Hope somebody in his camp knows that reebok are powderpuff, get Reyes for some more power.

                  All his career, he's had a sponsorship deal in the UK since he turned Pro is I remember. It was very early in his career.

                  I actually own a pair of those gloves but in silver and black, They're OK. I wear them occasionally, but not over my other pairs.

                    Not the best gloves for him imo

                    He needs to get out of the contract with reebok,its clearly taking power from his shots
