    In the last 2 fights Khan has been wearing the new Reebok gloves which are slighty less padded at the front and a bit flatter/wider, maybe Khan told Reebok to make them a bit less padded.

    New Gloves 10oz (I think the 8oz will even look/feel better)

    If Reebok gloves are so shitty, Khan should be able to force them to make him a custom pair.

    Khan's training and fight gloves are custom made/fitted for Khan by Reebok.

    If they're more padded than other gloves, they'll still help more than other gloves. Logic seems simple enough to me.

    Ok figuered I'd ask since it was the second time.

    Reebok gloves are not a punchers glove. They protect the hand. that would also prevent cuts.

    Khan has been wearing 10oz Reebok's since his loss.

    In this fight, he'll be wearing 8oz Gloves, which will cut up the Skin a lot easier than the 10oz would.

    That was another question you didn't answer.

    Only in Nevada do 135 and up wear 10 oz gloves and this was a recent rule change, which if both fighters agree can be discarded. How has Khan been wearing 10 oz gloves if he hasn't been fighting in Las Vegas?

    They will benefit the Puncher in terms of his power, but what other way will it benefit him?

    There's more plusses to Khan, than Maidana, as I explained in the big post which you just quoted.

    Khan doesn't plan to get hit. Whether you use 8 or 10, he'll still get sparked.

    Pacquiao is a completely different beast altogether compared to Maidana. His progress from fight to fight is phenomenal. I don't think we can compare.

    Where did you get that from? :?

    You don't even have to look at that. Just look at the Glove Size comparison.
