What IF.....

[VERSION1 (V1)]

Not sure this has been talk about but what if

Boxing always had 12 round championships fights. Boxing history would have been Changed Marciano would have had one lose, Sugar Ray Robinson would have been Light heavy Weight Champ of the world, Sugar Ray Leonard would have lost to Tommy Hearns, and Lewis would have lost to Billy Conn. Would history and boxing fans look at these fighters different. Discuss

Tough to call.

Marciano would've probably turned up the pace in the late rounds against Walcott if it were 12 rounds, likewise for Leonard and Louis. In fact, Leonard talked this in an interview in The Ring a little while ago. Whether or not they would've been able to stop their opponents is anyone's guess.
