The only thing I'd like to see is to give fighters an option to wear a small headguard, a one-ounce headguard. Some fighters might not want that option. But you know - you're training all the time, you're boxing all the time, and you've got a headguard on, you're using big gloves, and you're getting hit. And you observe that your face is better protected that way. Now they're doing it with ten-ounce gloves and no headguard. I think if they have a one-ounce headguard on to protect some of those brain cells in the head, it would be beneficial to the fighter.

Larry Holmes

Honestly, in this sport everyone is so good, everyone is so talented. You fight with four-ounce gloves on - in a perfect world, you'd be undefeated and walk away. That's a small percentage. That's Floyd Mayweather.

Cody Garbrandt

We got four-ounce gloves here. It's not hard to knock someone out.

Eddie Alvarez

It would be hard to throw a punch to someone who wasn't a boxer, who wasn't in the ring, and who didn't have on a pair of boxing gloves and who hadn't been training.

George Foreman

I always say if you can't knock someone out with four ounce gloves on there is something wrong with you.

Jimi Manuwa

There's not a lot of things to look out for in amateur boxing. Once the headgear comes off, once the 10-ounce gloves come on and you're fighting men and you're doing all these different things, that's where the experience comes.

Daniel Jacobs

Know the difference between Giant and Jumbo? Between two-ounce and a big two-ounce? Between a quart and a full quart? What's a tall 24-inch? What does Extra Long mean? Who's kidding who?

Marya Mannes

Sometimes my arm wants to throw a hard fastball, but my brain doesn't want to throw it that hard.

Zack Greinke

I boxed in Golden Gloves at Oxford and still know how to throw a straight left jab.

Kris Kristofferson

Do you know what they say about big hands? Big gloves!

Engelbert Humperdinck

You could be the best in the world, but it doesn't matter. It's four-ounce gloves. I've been dropped in practice with a knee to the body. I take a good knee to the body and break my ribs in the fight, I lost. I mean, it's a fight.
