Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez I
Juarez would have finished John off in the 13th or 14th round....
Lucian Bute vs. Librado Andrade I
any others?

First post on NSB since about December 2009. I agree with Bute Andrade I, but I would never forgive myself if I didn't mention Barrera Morales I.... I would have loved that horrid beautiful bastard of a fight to carry on another three....
Jirov-Mesi - had it been 12 instead of 10 Mesi would have been KTFO. He was down 3 times in the last 2 rounds and barely standing at the end of rd 10.
Alexander-Matthysse - 10 rounder that should have been 12 since it was a WBO(?) eliminator but Devon got his typical cheating win thanks to Don King somehow making it a 10 rounder days before the fight.
Why ask it then? You stalk my page, ask me these type of questions and you pluck your eyebrows. You creeping me out dude.

When did that happen? in De La Hoya victory celebration over trinidad?
Wait a minute Trinidad beat his assssssssss!!!!:banana:
There is a whole different rhythm to 15 rounders as opposed to 12. A fighter would be prepared going in, but they benefit the efficient marathon runner sort not the jack rabbit spastics that constantly twitch or waste a ton of punches.
Floyd-JLC 1 though JLC had the perfect pressure 15 round style and while Floyd is efficient also on that night JLC would have likely got him in 14 or 15 because it was taking everything Floyd had to keep the fight fairly even.
Well I usually figure that knowing the fight is going to be 12/15 rounds, a fighter will probably adapt and fight accordingly.
One that I think would've changed though, if scheduled for 15, was Chavez-Taylor 1. No controversy here. Contrary to popular belief, Taylor wasn't winning because he was putting on an amazing display of boxing tactics, defense, punch selection, etc....He was winning because he was a speedy guy with an insane workrate. He was outworking Chavez. But the punishment was adding up. If Taylor used the ring more and was more selective with his punches, well, Chavez was the more accurate puncher who was great at cutting off the ring. Taylor had to throw a lot of shots in order to win, and in doing so, was putting himself in harm's way.
In a 15 rounder, Chavez stops Taylor in the late rounds without controversy.
