How heavy are professional boxing gloves?

[Zaire]

Actually, middleweight on up use 10oz. I remember Manny Steward talking about it before the Tito-Joppy fight. He was talking about if Tito's power was gonna suffer becasue of the move to 10oz. gloves. Yes it is important to spar and hit the bag with heavier gloves. I hit the bag with 12oz. Everlast Super Bag Gloves, and spar with 16oz. Reyes Gloves.
