Which fights would have different results if the fight had gone 15 rounds?

[DrewWoodside]

Great, great thread topic. Props to the thread starter.

My pick goes to Andrade-Bute. We all know how that would have gone if it had a 13th round.

Had Hartley-Zelenoff 1 been 15 rounds.. Now that would have been interesting.

How about Hearns-Duran?

Hearns Leonard is the best example of 15 to 12. But I get the impression SRL would have devised a different and potentially equally effective gameplan.

Jeff lacy was about to turn the heat up on calzaghe so i say Lacy KO if it went to 15 rounds.........

Leonard wouldn't have taken the fight if it hadn't been 12 rounds. In his prime he could've probably competed with Hagler for 15 rounds but not at that age after having been inactive for many years.

.. Calzaghe Jones. In a bout that looked like it never should have happened even when it was only 12 rounds.

I honestly think the hagler from hagler hearns would have decapitated any SRL. I know that's judging off of that single dominant performance but he was an absolute terminator.

castillo-mayweather 1
castillo-casamayor
leonard-hearns 2 (hearns was pretty much out on his feet by the 12th)
margarito-williams
johnson-dawson

Maybe but that's not the way Hagler usually fought.

He should've come out like that against an aging Leonard though, instead he gave away the early rounds by boxing with an orthodox stance.

No doubt in my mind that the Hagler who fought Hearns would beat the Leonard who fought Hagler, but prime for prime it would be tough to pick a winner. Hagler fought at 160 but he wasn't that much bigger than Leonard.

Johnson Dawson, surprised no one mentioned that one. That would've been excellent, I'd be more interested in watching those 3 rounds than all of Dawson/Tarver 2.
