Back 70-80 years ago heavyweight boxers used to wear 6oz horse hair gloves. We would get a lot of knockouts, attacking entertaining fights and boxing was at it's height.
Nowadays the gloves are soft absorbing big 10oz gloves, making for boring defense minded fights, where the average guy on the streets has no clue on who the middleweight champion is.
Do we need to bring back the smaller gloves, less foam filled lighter gloves to make boxing great again.
Who could forget (try as we must) Clottey's performance against Pacquiao where because of the huge gloves he could just stay in his shell all night.
If we want greater skill, more action, more knockouts, attack minded fighters then bringing back smaller gloves will do this.

Poll Coming!!!
