If you have technique, properly wrapped hands in a boxing glove 8 or 10oz, there's almost no padding. The difference in pure force is absolutely minimal.Last edited by richardt; 07-16-2017, 06:52 PM.

Never seen the other two I'll watch those soon.
I don't know. I don't think that UFC fighters can punch well most of them.
It took them 5 minutes to get him to stand and even then he didn't know where he was.
I'd say that's pretty much done.

Originally posted by richardt View PostYou're forgetting something, in sparring the bigger gloves are slower and have less chance of accuracy than the smaller faster gloves. And you have to remember that you can use the bigger gloves to block punches better than 4 ounce gloves so the experience clearly makes the smaller gloves better for punching, just ask Floyd. He would fight tooth and nail to get 10 oz gloves used instead of 8 ounce gloves and that is only a 2 ounce difference, unlike a 4 ounce difference. Force calculated on a heavy bag is not the same as the entire experience of combat all the above things considered.
There are benefits of boxing gloves, i.e catching shots, covering larger parts etc - but pure force and damage done, there's not a whole lot of difference between 4oz and 8/10oz.
Scientific research has been done on this. it's all over youtube.

Originally posted by commonsense View PostSo why did it take 10 years for Jose Aldo to fall? Every single person tried and failed to do what Conor did in 13 seconds. What about Eddie Alvarez? Dropped 4 times and KO'd, something never done by a previous opponent in 4oz gloves. How about Nate Diaz? Never dropped in his career from a 4oz glove until he met Conor and was put down like a cow in a slaughter house 3 times in 2 rounds.
You make it sound so easy. Like everyone wearing 4oz gloves should boast KO records like Conor's. Well they don't and the reason McGregor is the name that he is is because he did what all the others could not.
