    i bet Hops could go 15, he's always in shape. Maybe the Baby Bull, he's young, all full of piss and vinegar.

      Morales could probably go 15.
      Margarito could probably go 15.
      Rafael and Juan Marquez could probably go 15.

      They all spar a lot of rounds in training and morales and the Marquez bro's train at 12000+ feet of altitude.

        I think that there is a few that could... But I think that fighting 15 rounds would just make fighters take it easier on themselves on the earlier rounds and by consequence more boring for the fans...IMO with less rounds in a fight, I think that fighters would go at it harder and more explosive...Do you imagine that instead of 12 rds of 3mins we had 1 round with unlimited time...that would warranty a KO in every fight. But then it would be nothing more than a street fight...

          Chris Byrd-The only guy above 160 in my opinion.

          Erik Morales
          Bernard Hopkins

          ^ Two guys who train an insane amounts for even the smallest of fights, these guys are warriors and should make anyone proud truly boxing greats.

          Cory Spinks-Always keep his cool and always in cruise mode, I think he might be able to last the whole 15 due to him being calm a lot and dictating a decent pace.

          Thats is about it in my book

          Runner ups:

          Floyd Mayweather
          Diego Corrales
          Winky Wright
          Juan Manuel Marquez


          their really is only a few fighters who stand out in my mind who could last the whole 15.

              Margarito/Mayorga you may want to reassess that.

                Any heavy that can go 12 rds can go 15. They would justt pace themselves for three more rds! Jezuz could you imagine3 more rds of Ruiz's **** huggin!

                    the thing is if fighters trained and prepared for 15 round i think most could do it. right now they train for 12 and they give it all they got so by twelve they are tired
