    How fast will Khan's hands be with the 2oz difference?

    oh man i hope khan doesn't win in an impressive fashion

    all the asians will start the whole khan can beat calzaghe (this time probably froch or even haye?) thing like they did when he first turned pro and stopped a few guys in the first round.

    I have no Idea. I've only used Everlast/Lonsdale (English Makes) in England, so I wouldn't know.

    They definitely look the most like the more top-heavy, bigger grant gloves.

    i've used the top range reebok ones, not sure if they are the same ones khan uses but they're pretty poor for training, they're soft as pillows, most of the weight is around the wrist or end of the fist, leather quality isn't great.

    I'm pretty sure Khan's are custom made for him personally.

    Really, if they made such a difference, I'm sure Roach would have addressed the issue.

    Khan is wearing 8oz for this fight, so at least that's an improvement from the 10oz one's he's been using since losing to Prescott.

    We are not comparing Pac's performance or attirbutes. it is the glove situation, Reyes gloves are Punchers gloves very little padding made with horse hair. Did you see the first and second Pac-Morales fights? Long story short. Morales forced pac to wear a more padded glove in the first fight. In the Second Pac got to wear Reyes gloves and by the third Morales already had welts on his face.

    all the plusses in the big post I just quoted amouted to you stating maidana got frustrated by a small cut and 8oz gloves will cut up the skin.

    What I'm trying to explain to you is that the Reebok glove has more padding in the front of the glove then the Reyes glove. Reebok gloves protect your hands. just look at the structure of them, the look like winning gloves. Cleto Reyes Gloves are called the Puncher's Gloves. simply because it has few paddings and is made of horse's hair. during a fight, the gloves gradually flattened thus giving a more solid punches. Increasing the chance of cutting/damaging your opponents face.
