    I believe all Vegas fights us a standard 20x20 ring.

    No chance.

    24 or maybe even a 26ft ring.

    Way too big for a WW fight.

    Would have been nice if Maidana got his own gloves and a 20ft ring.

    Uh it's actually in the state legislation itself:

    Maidana Floyd was no way a 20ft ring...

    Pointing out NAC is nice and all and would seem to put any discussion or debate to rest but I would bet money on it not bieng a 20ft ring.

    All Vegas fights are 20x20 and have been since the mid 1980's. I think SRL disgracefully demanded a 24x24 for the Hagler fight.

    I can't deny it then. My eyes must decieve me BADLY. If I had a chance i'd measure it myself I would LMAO.

    Maybe I underestimate how small these guys are.

    edit: found some some shots of the actual fight night ring: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/01/s...reverence-for-boxings-biggest-stage.html?_r=0

    Does look like a 20footer there to be honest...

    I heard it's 24x24. Floyd demanded it.

    80 x 80. Or they might go with the NSAC standard and mandated 20 x 20.
