Ray Leonard's comments on the larger gloves 154 lb fighters wore, including his match with Kalule

I always noticed Ray`s gloves looked big and clumsy compared to when he was at welter, shame I would love to have seen a hard punching Ray at light middle.

 

Yes, the heavier you are, the bigger the gloves, because heavier fighters are supposed to hit harder.

It was actually the basis of a lawsuit Joey Gamache filed against the New York State Athletic Commission after his loss to Arturo Gatti.

The fight was at 140, but Gatti weighed liked 160 when the bell rang and he brutalized the naturally smaller Gamache.

Gamache suffered brain damage from that fight. And Gamache's team said Gatti should've had to wear bigger gloves since he entered the ring nowhere close to the 140-pound limit and Gamache (the naturally smaller guy, did).

 

The TV announcers commented throughout on the physical mismatch of that Gatti fight.
Somehow, that was a totally f@pped up situation under jurisdiction of New York.
