15 round fights....

[moofo]

Would a lot of Champs remained champs had the rule not changed to 12 round fights?
Prime example Hatton Vs Collazo , would Hatton have seen the final bell in the 15th?

OR is 15 rounds too much?

OR would fighters change the pace of their fights to cater for 15 rounds?

Personally I would prefer Championship fights to revert to 15 rounders.

BUT what SAY YOU?

Am I just a sadist.
Tell me your thoughts.
Thanks.

guys would pace differently and react differently under 15 rounds.

de la hoya for one, would struggle though, b/c he's kind of tense and often gets tired by the 8th or 9th round.

i like 15 rounds better

Mormeck would have lost against Bell in their second fight.

15 rounds are longer and take more energy out of the fighters which means they will slow the pace down which means less action for the fans. 12 rounds are better IMO.

Rocky Marciano would have been ****ed without 15 rounds.

In fact a lot of fighters throughout history would have been ****ed without 15 rounds.

I wouldn't mind if they brought 15 round fights back. The action and pace might not actually slow down because fighters would actually need to build they're stamina up so who knows.

You all know the man who started 12 round fights?

Hint: Yall give him pass but degrade another fighter for doing a lot of things similar to what this great fighter did.

15 round fights ended when Ray Mancini KO'd Duk Koo Kim which resulted
in Kims death.

the wbc decided to make rule changes, but there was still plenty of 15 rounders after mancini-kim in other organizations.

Do you really think that is the only reason 15 rounds were stopped? You said that like nobody has died fighting in a 12 round fight.

That fight was the beginning of the end of 15 rounds.
