The only time i've ever really dropped anybody with a punch was from a bodyshot in reyes 14oz gloves (on a smaller guy); so you may have a point saying that I can't punch. On the other hand, I've spent a lot of time working on my mechanics since moving to Texas and in sparring it seems like I have a lot more power (sparring with IMF 16oz that still feel new). If they decide to turn up the heat, I'm able to turn it up high enough to make them worry; which wasn't really the case before.
Those Ringside pro fight gloves must be foam-filled. Usually fight gloves are filled with horsehide and really start breaking down after a few uses.
I do think when talking about partner safety (damage reduction) that heavier gloves are underrated; however I think the supposed speed & power benefits of heavier gloves are overrated.
