    Why does Floyd fight in a 26 ft ring?

    IMO for welters it should be 20ft rings. 26 ft ring is like a parking lot.
    IMO this is how should be

    105-118 18ft ring 6oz gloves

    122-154 20ft ring 8pz gloves

    160-200 22 ft ring 10oz gloves

    Heavy 24 ft ring 14 oz gloves


    It's crazy how these little men are fighting
    Such a big ring

          I'm pretty sure Vegas mandates a 20x20 ring. Where did you hear about 26x26?

            It's a standard 20x20 ring, which is the norm in Vegas and most common along with the 18x18 ring. Rings cannot be smaller than 16x16 or bigger than 24x24 (neither of which are commonly seen at a decent level in boxing.
