I dont know what rules are in place regarding making gloves but I THINK that Reyes gloves have the weight distributed more around the whole glove instead of concentrating on the knuckle area. That may be total nonsense but thats how the gloves feel which may be why they are regarded as punchers gloves.LancashireLoyal wrote:was gonna start a new thread but might aswell dig this one back up..so Im led to believe the Cleto Reyes are the classic punchers glove and grants are the hand protectors but some also say the glove makes no difference its all if your are a puncher you are a puncher and the glove is not going to add any more power or "solidity" rather, to a punch.
are there any new brand of gloves which are considered more of a punchers glove in the modern day and why is it that the biggest punchers p4p in the world today dont use the Reyes glove?i could be totally wrong but golovkin and kovalev use grant gloves dont they?
Grant seem to be dominating the market at the moment but my guess would be that its more to do with how customisable they are. Fighters chose various colours and writing etc whilst Reyes seem to be more old school, yes they provide different colours but nowhere near to the same extent as Grant.
For me, Reyes are still the daddys.
