I always use fingerless leather gloves if I train on the bag it´s much harder on your knuckles. But then I´m not into sport but self defense and I´m used to have my fingers moveable so there´s that. Power transfer is a bit different in technique, for example relaxing the fist after a punch to keep the energy in the target and not propagate back into my hand. It´s much easier with those gloves because you get more "feel".
I would say it depends, do you spare? Then I would train on similar gloves used in sparing or contest. Why not use both?

16oz gloves? How big are your hands?? Unless you have 10+ inch hands, I have no idea why you’d be using bear paws as gloves...at any rate, if it’s bag work, it’s like renting shoes from a bowling alley — almost anything will work. Maybe you are due for a new heavy bag.

They work fine for my heavybag work. And protect very well with spinning back fist.

Out of curiosity, why are you wearing boxing gloves for a sport that doesn't use them?
I use leather RDX gel MMA-style gloves (with open thumb area), and they work well on everything from focus mitts to canvas heavy bags (and everything in between, including people's faces).
Personally, I'd take this opportunity to venture away from the boxing gloves, especially if you're doing Muay Thai and not something that necessitates boxing gloves versus MMA-style gloves. As my instructor would say, "Loose the 16-ounce pillows."

Wow... okay. Clearly a lot of people just pretend to know how to box. Or watched a bunch of videos and decided they are boxers LOL!
