      I don't think 75% of these boxers are even prepared to go the whole 12, let alone 15! I still picked 15rds for championship fights, b/c it eliminates the even rounds, increasing the chances of a DRAW! For BIG/IMPORTANT fights we need CLARITY... like a couple people said before me; 13 is fine; as long as we can have a DECISIVE WINNER!

        i voted for 15 myself, it's true that after 12 rounds it get's a little exhausting, but some fighters today barely even train to go 10 rounds without seriously tiring. if it was 15 rounds again, then possibly more lazy fighters would have that extra incentive to train harder knowing they would have to outlast their opponent for a longer period of time.

        besides all the great fighters in the past had done it. they were tougher and better conditioned. those extra three rounds is the distance that separates men from boys. im a boxer, and if i had to choose id pick 15 rounds, to see what im made of, and if im disciplined enough to make it through both mentally and physically

                i agree i think to many fighters now are lazy and undiscpline now. you can tell by them by going up and down in weight btw fights. i think very few would make it except b-hop and mayweather. i also think my boy would have more ko's due to more rounds

                  15 rounds all the way. Old skool warrior distance separates the boys from the true champions and gets rid of these tap tap run point fighters i hate so much. Think of all the important fights that were close in recent memory but the heart and conditioning difference was apparent. Glen Johnson, Manny Pacquiao, and Israel Vasquez all became increasingly stronger in the later rounds of their fights and would have won decisively with no controversy had they gone 15 rounds.

                    i think it would make these sloppy heavyweights get in shape

                      Its not so much for the heavyweights as it is everyone south of heavyweight. Vlad is the only heavyweight well conditioned to go 15rds today if he had to, and tye fields is taking over after he retires anyway. The switch would be for the lower weights who seem to keep having 1 close controversial championship fight after another.
