If you could choose the gloves for the fight: Grant or Cleto Reyes?

  1. No I see what you are saying. Believe it or not I have a basic understanding of this. Cutting off 20 square feet of the ring and using Grants over Reyes aren't the same thing. Floyd likes Grants because they are slightly larger and better for his defense... Unfortunately he likes his opponents to use them too because they are softer... But make no mistake, if someone hits you square with Grant gloves its still gonna **** you up.

    The ironic thing about Reyes gloves is that Cleto Reyes had to retire at a young age from taking too much punishent. Anyway, fighters should be able to wear any gloves they want. However, it really doesn't matter. Just get in there and fight. Mayweather is not even a power puncher and he knocked out Hatton with 10 oz. Grant gloves. A punch is a punch.

    Yeah? and pac ended hatton's career with 8oz reyes.

    That's the difference, but you don't care since you're in love with running/ducking/dodging/avoiding.

    That doesn't have **** to do with big punches.
     
  5. See the third option? Its not worded quite as pro as your suggestion..but its there.

    Why are you always bitching and complaining? Shane should be able to wear any gloves he wants. In the end though, it doesn't really matter.
     
  7. I'm in love with what??

    I picked the third option you Jabroni, its the whole point of this thread. I'm in love with the fights. I don't get caught up in this whole nonsense like you do.

    And furthermore... Do you think that if Pacquiao was wearing Grants that same punch wouldn't have KOd him flat? COME ON FO REAL SERIOUSLY WTF.

    Boxers think it matters.
    That's why I formulate the conclusion that I prefer to see punchers wear punchers gloves.

    But I understand it gives shane a better chance to crack your idol's jaw, so you will defend it if he HAS to wear grant.

    I own both pair of 8oz gloves. Both have almost an equal amount of 'pop'. Grants have foam padding which keep their form and are a little wider offering more coverage for defense. Reyes mold more to the knuckle and are thinner, u can feel the knuckle coming through more on reyes. In terms of punchers glove in order from least padding to most it goes Reyes, Grant, Everlast-Ringside (tie) Winning-Rival(tie)

    :huh all you need to know is how each differs..

    When your gf ask you(if you ever had any) what gstring to wear.. doesnt necessarily mean you've wore them right?

    What the hell are you talking about? I've clearly stated that Mosley should be able to wear any brand of gloves he wants. Whether he wears Reyes, or Grant the result will be the same. None the less, no one should dictate what brand of gloves he wears.
