Prince asked in SportsBoxing · 1 decade ago

what weight were the gloves back in the ali vs fraizer era?

just curious too see if they were lighter than todays gloves, as boxers are now bigger, stronger and quicker, it would make sense to make the gloves heavier as these boxers can do some serious damage.

    The weight depending on the fighters and what they agreed to use, it was often either 6 or 8 ounce gloves, which isn't much protection when guys with big fists are fighting.
