King and top10?... never heard of those gloves before. Sorry man

Top Ten I've heard mixed opinions.
I have a pair from totiro-usa.com and they're okay, but the leather feels kinda cheap.

King are muay thai gloves and one of the few muay thai gloves that I don't think are good for boxing - you'd do much better to go with Twins. The reason for this is that they have a flexible wrist (a flexible glove altogether actually), which is really helpful in the clinch.

The best cheap brands I like right now are:
tufwear - they last a while, well padded
triumph united - the heatseeker's the best winning knock off
american stand up - their sparring glove is the best grant knock off

Top ten are pretty good. Their padded headgears (not their rubber ones) are the best headgears I've ever worn.

As stated, King is a muay thai glove. You should go for Western boxing gloves if thats what you are practicing.

I used top ten gloves when I did an amatuer tournament in Ukraine and I hated them. When U punch hard it feels like U do no damage. But they are great safety gloves dont get me wrong, I use them when I have like a hand injury to prevent more from getting hurt.

My favorite gloves are Everlast

promex gloves are pretty good. they have nice leather and the padding is kinda like the reyes but you do have to break them in longer.
