i think they stay 8-10, i remember hearing something about floyd mayweather wanting 10oz for the pacquiao fight were it to ever happen. and in the billy collins jr vs resto fight where resto had stuffing removed from the gloves they were meant to be 8oz but resto's were 6. but then he had his hands wrapped in plaster of paris too so i couldn't really speculate as to how much difference the removed stuffing made compared to the fists of rock.
