15 Round Championships

[INFAMOUZ]

Bring back 15 rounders...Any half azzed conditioned fighter can go 12.. 15 would weed out all the pretenders, leaving only the REAL champions. Imagine if Ali - Frazier 1 was only 12 rounds. Think of all the great fights we as fans would have been cheated out of. And all the great ones were missing now. Dramatic comebacks in the 13th or 14th round. Stunning one punch ko's in the 15th. Imagine Holyfield-Foreman 15 rounds.. Gatti - Ward...etc.

I can see the reasoning behind fights going 15 rounds, but I think it would shorten boxers careers and cause more serious injury as in theory, a boxer could be hit 25% more over the course of the fight.

I don't think 15 rounds would shorten fighters' careers. Almost all of the 15 round fighters back in the day had nearly twice the amount of fights of today's boxers.

Mosley v. Hoya 1
Barerra v. Morales 1,2
Quartey v Hoya
Quartey v Vargas
Leonard v Hagler (Leonard ***** as doing)
Lewis v Mercer
Bowe v Holyfield
Mesi v his last two fights

The list is way too long, I agree bring back 15 rounders

There Must Be A Big Reason They Stopped 15 Rounders. I Dont Know What It Is But It Must Be More Important Than Bringing Them Back Just For The Hell Of It. Just To Know What Could Of,im Fine With The Way They R Now. We Get To Enjoy A Fighters Career Longer.

Fighters fight less nowadays, actually.

I could be way off base here but I thought a serious contributing factor to the end of 15 round fights was when Mancini killed the Korean, Im sure there were other reason but as I recall this was one of them.
