    I'm looking to buy some new equipment, would like to the pros and cons of the products. I prefer using the name brands and nice looking equipment as I have the money to invest...in some cases, I am willing to make exceptions. Any advice/knowledge is appreciated!

    I own the Reyes double eng bag with the single teardrop target, but it is worn out and beat up. I was thinking about getting this one as it's replacement: [url]http://www.ringside.com/DETAIL.ASPX?ID=24723[/url]

    I'm also looking to buy some punch mitts. I own a pair of these:

I'm interested if anyone knows the type Floyd Mayweather Sr. is wearing in the recent 24/7 episodes? Fairly open on what to buy here, as I have very little in mind as to what I will choose.

    I am also looking to buy a medicine ball, was wondering which brands and sizes would be best for me. I don't know much about specific medicine balls, so any advice here is appreciated.

    Finally, I need to buy some boxing shoes. Open to any suggestions here.
