Since the 15 round fight has been done away with for some time now, many fights could have been altered with surprisingly different outcomes had the fight gone 15 rounds. Some say 12 rounds is enough time to get a good fight, some say it's not enough time. Some say 15 rounds was too brutal.

Which of today's fighters do you think could fight strongly for 15 grueling rounds. I only think there are a few notable fighters who have the chops to fight 15 at a championship caliber level. James Toney, Erik Morales, Bernard Hopkins, and Juan Manuel Marquez come to mind immediately. What do you think?

Toney and Hopkins could fight for 20 rounds there just so relaxed and calm in the ring.

I would also add Ivan Calderon to that list.

what about pacmab and pac-jmm? looked grueling to me...although i must admit that most pac fights didn't last more than 5 rounds because he knocks them out early in the fight.

Tito, Pacman, MAB, EM, and PBF come to mind. But 15 rds i think maybe DLH worst nightmare.

No one mentioned Ricky Hatton?

If there's one world class thing he undoubtedly has... It's stamina and Ricky's got one hell of a workrate to go with it too!

Diaz....you saw the pace he set against sims. That dude never gets tired.

Hopkins is the most economic fighter out there, he could probably go 20 rounds at that pace.

Hmmm i think maybe Byrd could box for 15 rounds and i think Ruiz is able to hug for 15 rounds :D

Great

KT could go 30 if he had to, he and Nard are the most patient and well prepared boxers in the world

Chris Byrd's got my vote along with Toney an Hopkins.

15 round fighters today? (1)Definitely Hopkins: no one pressures him to increase his work rate. He just sets his own pace and goes on and on and on.
(2)Kasim Ouma: Dude just puches in bunches for 12 rounds. Great stamina.

Pacman could easily be on the list as attested by Roach.

Antonio Margarito trains specifically for the 15 rounds. Jose Luis Castillo also seems like he can go 15 rounds when he prepares right.
