Im my opinion, I think Reyes are the best quality gloves. the have less padding around the knuckles area though, hence, known as the "punchers glove". but if your still new to the fight game, and looking for glove4s that would suit a beginner, I would go with a glove that had more padding around the knuckle--- Grant or Everlast.

Whilst I agree that Cleto Reyes are probably the best gloves in the world and the most expensive!....I honestly believe that Everlast gloves are not as good as they were since a great deal of their production is made in the far east - Still a good glove, but not as good....Just my opinion. Lonsdale have always made a good glove also. For a good priced glove a friend of mine as just purchased a pair of Ringwise gloves, which also seems to be a good glove.

Highly likely; many boxer's kids like to follow their dad's footsteps, however, don't expect him to be as good as his father was in his prime. Assuming Tyson has a son, I'm not sure he does. In the world of boxing, generational differences and how much the sport has decayed is apparent just from comparing the performance of family lineages. Very rarely, do the kids of famous fighters from days past do as well as the father. Its kind of like comparing the Bush clan; George Bush senior, because he's a hardened, grizzled and "tough" WWII generation type he's a "real man." George W. Bush, being a baby boomer not toughened up by a war, or widespread poverty, is a total wimp. My own father is a carbon copy of my person appearance wise, but older. However if you look at us side by side, I'm a total pansy. My dad though, is a hardened, macho Israeli misrahi Jew. If and when I get to know my dad he'll probably say I'm a sissy. My dad though, is as far from a "sissy" as any man can be. Cases such as those are not uncommon among fathers and sons all over the world; older generations of men are generally "harder" and more "grizzled" than younger generations. Here is an example of what I'm talking about; Heihachi Mishima, represents the WWII generation of Japanese men, Kazuya Mishima, represents the last generation of Japanese men that was "tough" and macho, people born in the 1960's; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPGXPTF-oAM Jin Kazama, represents modern Japanese young men; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kaVGfCNAj8 As you can plainly see, the further and further away you remove yourself from the older generation of men, the wussier and wussier the men get. Old generation Japanese men were tough, what can I say. That video game is humorously exagerating on the fact. Oh sure Jin Kazama is physically fit and strong like his father and grandfather, but, notice his facial expression, how much of a wimp he is compared to his father Kazuya, and his grandfather Heihachi. In the real world, you see this, all the time; in a given family, grandpa is always the tough one, and down the generations, the men get progressively wimpier and wimpier. Okay so, what does this have to do with Mike Tyson's son? Well, being of a younger generation that Tyson, a generation of black youths generally more well off than their parents, don't expect him to have his father's toughness. If anything, although he may LOOK like Tyson, don't expect him to FIGHT like him. A good example on how generations of men seemingly get weaker and weaker, wussier and wussier, are Joe and his son Marvin Frazier. Marvin Frazier, in his prime, was in fact much bigger and physically more powerful in terms of raw punching power than his dad was. Marvin was really big on strength training, which, combined with boxing, and calisthenics, made it so that he could in fact hit harder than his dad. I think in his prime, Frazier the older weighed 205 lbs, while Frazier the younger tipped the scales at a very muscular 230 lbs, a full 25 lbs heavier than his dad. Between the weight and a lifetime of training, obviously Frazier the son, could hit much harder. So, why happened? Mike Tyson happened; someone with a much rougher life, and tougher upbringing, brought down someone who, well, was a total wuss compared to his tough father. Physically, Frazier the son, is stronger than his dad, mentally though that's another story; Frazier's mind, was hardened from years of back breaking labor in a farm he grew up. He had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. every morning and I think he was constantly knee deep in maneur. Years and years of that life, hardened him, toughened him, gave him a desperation to fight and hit hard, with focus and skill, that his son Marvin just didn't have because he did not have that life. Marvin may have been trained by none other than THE Joe Frazier himself, having a lifetime of skill, but the motivation his father had, the desperation, just wasn't there. You simply can not compare men, anywhere in the world, NOW, with men from two generations, sometimes even just one generation ago, if you happen to have been born in the 1970's and beyond. From the 1970's onward, most men gradually became wimpier and wimpier, all over the world, as life got easier and easier. Unless Tyson is an abusive father, don't expect too much from his kid. Tyson does not have anywhere near the fortune he had in the late 1980's, however thanks to legal maneuvering, he was able to get himself out of the red, and secure a tidy nest egg probably worth around 4 million, not enough to live in luxury, but enough to secure a decent middle class existence for the rest of his life, and that of his family. Middle class life, simply does not compare to the streets Tyson spent his formative years in, because his son, assuming he has one, did not experience that, the desperation, the need to hurt another man to escape a dark past, deprived and impoverished past, just isn't there. Modern boxing, simply does not compare to the "golden age" for some very good reasons; 1) Widespread poverty; depression era kids had to face the humiliation of buying foods with stamps and bonds comissioned by the FDR administration. People weren't starving, however not being able to earn, being literally spoon fed by the government was deeply humiliating for many Americans. 2) As we all know poverty breeds crime and violence, fights broke out with males of all ages all across the country. Virtually every city, town, and even High Schools colleges and univerities had boxing programs. Why? In older times in America, fights between males, regardless of age were so common, so out of control, that boxing was set up in an attempt to at least "organize" it somewhat so that people would not be killed or seriously maimed, and if they had to beat each other's brains in, at least it would be in a controlled atmosphere. 3) Boxing was run by the largely Mafia funded IBC, the international boxing comission. Some fights were rigged, but the truth is, it is actually modern boxing where more guys are paid to take a dive than in the old fights. Why is this? Remember that from the 30's to 50's, virtually everyone who was male did boxing at some point in his life, so they knew how to watch a boxing match. If a fake punch was thrown, if someone deliberately took a dive, people would know. Thus fights could not be rigged THAT way, however what the mafia COULD do, was pay the ref to turn a blind eye to foul shots for example. If you tried to headbutt the other guy, the ref would warn you, and take a point off, but if the other guy did it, because the mafia paid the ref to be that way, the ref would let it go. What was the purpose of that? Elbows, headbutts and knees do a lot of damage; repeated foulings, is how many fighters had their careers ended by the mafia. Sometimes muscular mafia hit men would be put in the ring and told by their capos "mess that guy up." Because he refused to play ball, Marciano was harassed by the mafia. One of his friends from High School was beat up by a bunch of gangsters as a warning to him. Because boxing involves gambling, the mafia did not like guys who made fights predictable, so, the truth is, the black hand really wanted Marciano to lose. There are several articles in "Ring" magazine, boxing history books, among other sources that list these things; the trouble Marciano had with the mafia is well documented, something the 1999 biographical movie does not talk about enough. So, what did Marciano do to the thugs who beat up his friend? He handed them their rears on a silver platter; he single handedly took on 8 of them, and messed them up so badly, the mafia never messed with him again (his friend). Ultimately though, the mafia won in the end; rumor has it, that they threatened his family, although he was in fact very strong physically, in the end they forced him to retire. Marciano did receive money from the mob; they paid him to stop fighting because he was dropping too many guys. Just giving you an idea, the desperation to escape from poverty, the sheer ridiculous size of the talent pool of earlier eras, not to mention how much more dangerous the sport was back then BECAUSE of the mob, you just can not compare boxers of that time, to boxers of today. And that the heavyweights are bigger and badder is a misconception; there were large, naturally well muscled guys back then too, some as big and as powerful as George Foreman. So, why weren't the champions very good? Because, compared to Foreman, a 200 pounder 6'1 guy like Joe Louis is a speed demon, not to mention the fact that they have more stamina. Louis would have slaughtered foreman; not only was he much faster, but he could hit almost as hard with strength disproportionate to his size. Its not that the heavies are bigger, so much as the fact that there aren't high stamina, physically fit 200 lb heavies to drop them anymore. The average weight of the heavies, ranged from the 190's, sometimes as low as 185, to the 220's during the golden age. Modern day heavies often range from 214 to 245, but, the 245 guys are like, 25% bodyfat. No one likes to watch the heavies anymore because most of those guys are out of shape for one, and no one cares about those robotic and often arrogant eastern Europeans. No joke man, those eastern European fighters are all turds, although I have no love for this country, American fighters are a lesser evil, and often nicer it seems, than eastern European guys; I really wish they would man up and drop them. I'm serious; I can't stand their arrogance, that is not what boxing is about. What most ticks me off about Tyson, back on the subject, is that he should have dropped one of the Klitchkos; by teaching one of those eastern European guys a lesson in humility he may have found SOME form of redemption in the eyes of boxing fans. Sadly though, he never did it, hopefully his son will make the same observations regarding different generations of men I have, man up, and it may be up to him to teach eastern European guys a lesson. I'm serious here I can't stand their arrogance; whoever out there in the world, PLEASE shut those guys down.

Anything that gets your heart going can help with weight loss, but only if you're simultaneously monitoring your diet. If you're overeating it really doesn't matter what you do for exercise, you still won't lose any weight.

In boxing, kickboxing or mixed martial arts, "tomato can" or simply "tomato" or "can" is an idiom for a fighter with poor or diminished skills (at least when compared with the opponent they are placed against) who may be considered an easy opponent to defeat, or a "guaranteed win." Fights with "tomato cans" can be arranged to inflate the win total of a professional fighter.
