I always train with 18 oz. gloves but they much lighter on my arms and hands now. I had heard that 20 oz. gloves were available, but the heaviest I've ever seen were 18's.

why on earth do you want that big gloves???

Does training with the heavier gloves help more with strength or speed?

Toughman competition...*snickers*

boxer-When you train with heavier gloves and then fight with lighter ones, youre hands are going to fly faster because, you have lighter gloves on.

Well it will make you stronger but not faster.

The best is getting used to the size your fighting at. 10 oz in my case.

It will feel like your faster but you wont be any faster.

Does it help me in strength or speed? It helps my strength, does a little bit for my speed, nothing dramatic. It's mainly for conditioning my muscles.

Wearing heawy gloves will make you feel faster but you wont be faster.

I suppose you are right, I didnt fatigue as easy wearing 12oz as I did wearing 16oz gloves. My hands didnt feel as heavy though.
