real boxing gloves are heavy for a reason, or rather, a couple of reasons.
You need the heavy padding over the fingers to prevent your fingers from getting really swollen. Hitting a heavy bag for any good length of time with little or no protection will eventually take it's toll on your fingers; especially if you throw a hook a little too wide and land with your thumb.
Second, they're heavier. Most boxing gloves come in 12, 14, or 16 oz. weights in order to make the training harder. If you can throw quick punches and keep your hands up while wearing gloves, you can sure as hell do it with 4 oz. gloves, or no gloves at all.
Plus, working out with a bag wearing lifting gloves would make you look like a HUGE tool.
tl;dr boxing gloves will give you a better workout and protect your hands.
