Does boxing need smaller gloves to become more entertaining again.

wearing clothes is for the weak

Adam and Eve would agree with you.

Dumb post.

Boxers wore bigger gloves to protect their hands learn about the sport before you talk like you know what you are talking about.

Maybe just smaller and lighter clothes with natural fabric

boxing would be copying mmgay, which is wrong on principle

boxing needs less rounds, to reduce damaged brains and so boring decisions end quicker

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!!!

No, but it would appear a lot of fans would benefit from bigger brains.

OP needs to go read a book.

I agree, its time to man up the sport. The commission should do away with gloves altogether, heck, who needs padding? Fights would be a lot shorter, plenty of stoppages due to cuts and fighters would be getting KO'd in no time. We could then do away with judges as well.

They say its more hazardous to sustain persistent punishment over long periods of time. Remove the gloves and the problem is gone.

Why not take it a step further and force fighters to sacrifice a cow and eat a raw steak before walking to the ring.

Brawlers for life mang.

Boxing has had smaller gloves in it past, we should just go back to our roots

If you define more tragedies in the sport as entertainment then there is something wrong with you.

Should we take off the safety equipment from F1 cars so they go faster?

Kovalev already killed a guy with 10oz's.. I think we're good here.
