    From a fans perspective I don't want 15 rounds. Its like the old saying you can shave a sheep many times but you can skin him only once. We might have great individual fights but great fights and rematchs would probably ruin many of these same fighters.

    Think of the beatings that Lacey, Abraham, Mosley (first Forrest fight), Baldomir, Malignagi...etc would've taken in those next few rounds. Would've probably ruined them and robbed us of there exciting fights that took place after those fights.

      Fair post with good insight.

      But it's really a non-issue. The corner have this white little thing called towel.
      They can throw it in to protect their fighter before we see those severe beatings...

        i don't see too many fighters today really lasting 15 rounds without looking really sluggish, but there are fighters with amazing stamina that could do like you already know, mayweather jr is the obvious choice, and guys like hopkins and maybe calzaghe and a few others would do great in 15 rounds.
