Glove sizing in pro's ( according to weight class )

[Bonafide]

I'm having a debate with my buddy trying to explain to him what sizes of gloves are used in the pros. He doesn't believe me the the heavier wieghts use bigger gloves ,pls tell me if this is correct or wrong...thanks in advance!


Bantam to welterweight 8oz
junior middle to light heavy 10oz
heavyweights ( cant remember if they use 10oz or 120z?)

[Bonafide]

umm anybody?

just need some confirmation that this is accurate?

[Derranged_]

I think lightweight and under use 10 oz gloves while heavier weight classes use 12 oz gloves. I don't think that the pros use anything heavier than the 12 oz gloves.

[the_truth_1984]

I think that from strawweight to welterweight 8oz. gloves are used and from jr. middleweight to heavyweight 10oz. gloves are used.

[Del Coqui]

from MW to HW they use 12oz.

[Southpaw Stinger]

In the pros

Middleweight to Heavy is 10 oz
Below middle is 8 oz


In the amateurs

Middle to heavy is 12 oz in some
Below Middle is 10 oz in some.

[Easy-E]

In the pros

Middleweight to Heavy is 10 oz
Below middle is 8 oz


In the amateurs

Middle to heavy is 12 oz in some
Below Middle is 10 oz in some.

Thats not right.
I know Floyds gloves were at least 10 oz in the last fight against zab.

Are you sure they were not just more bulky like Amir Khan has?

The rules laid down by all sanctioning bodies states that in the pros middle and above use 10 oz and below use 8 oz.

Well it really is up to the fighters fighting.

Winning gloves seem bigger than the other brands even though they are the same weight.
