    Like I said, I believe it's more of a psychological than a physical thing.

    If it does not matter, why put it in the contract in the first place?

      I guess only Arum or Morales can answer my question or some of the other promoters that exercised this option.
      I think it was more psychological than anything. Arum obviously like any good promoter will take both psychological or physical advantage he can for his fighter to have a bigger edge. He knew Morales likes Winning and so he added it and Muhammad never objected.

      Emmanuel Steward said Winning gloves have changed a lot and he recently held a pair of the new winnings like the ones used in Pac vs Morales and he said they were just as much a punchers glove.

      Its funny because if you ask Grant Gloves they will tell you that they bet that you would prefer to be hit by a Reyes glove than their last generation of grant gloves. Interesting because Chavez Jr. wears grant and he started wearing Reyes like his father.

          Killing two birds with one stone ...... that's another story.

            Morales can wear whatever gloves he want as long as it's legal boxing gloves, but why worry about his opponent's?

                i saw when he held it, Winning was almost twice as big.

                Watch ta Raheem and Morales fight again. Definitely A DIFFERENCE!

                    You are talking about seeing... there are fights where the Reyes have looked humungous.. Im talking about a non-partial trainer to either party, and world renowned, saying there is no real difference it was fighter vs fighter.
