>>I say first make all the gloves 2-4 ouncers. It'll be like a piece of leather the thickness of corrugated cardboard over the fists. With that being the case, you can be reasonably sure that guys will punch and not swing like windmills, at least not without hurting themselves as well. <<

You know that seems like pretty good idea.

Then we'd get to know who has porcelain fists as well as glass jaws.

That would be pretty funny sight, guy hauls off, BAM!!!
Next thing you know he is bent over, with his fist between his legs.....Ow! Ow! Ow! I hurt myself!

Isn't the other part of the gloved/ungloved damage related to the dissipation of the energy? In other words, barefisted punches tend to dissipate on the surface, but with gloves the energy penetrates deeper?
