Can today's fighters last 15 rounds?

[Atwa_66]

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!

hahaha could'nt have said it better. And I think if they went 15 rounds McCline should just stop boxing, when he fought Byrd, he was exhausted by the 5th round, can you see him standing for 15?

It general, it's alot harder on the super heavies to go long rounds. In fact, I can't think of any big guy who looked reasonably fresh after 10 (well, maybe Ibeabuchi, Bowe?). Most of the big guys (Klits, Lewis, McCline, Grant, etc.) look dog tired after 5 or 6...

The Toney we saw against Jirov could have easily gone 15.

Hopkins and Morales are obvious choices.

Winky could do it too.

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.

Firstly if that were the case Zab would have Koed spinks
and secondly fighters train for 12 and fight 12 if it were 15 they would train for that many rounds

EYE8 its MUCH harder then you think to pace yourself. 9 rounds is a lotta time. Klitschko, McCline, Whitaker, Rahman etc. all could not go 15 rds with getting either extreamly fatigued or KO'd . . .

[bigdlb12]

winky,mosley,vargas if he doesnt get KO,lol
hopkins,trinidad,byrd,holyflied even at his age
etc... I think there are alot more than what we think

[Zab Super Judah]

hopkins could go 15 and pacman......and probably morales........the mayorga at 147 might be able to go 15 rounds

[leff]

I dont see any of the big boys doing it exept byrd and maybe ruiz is capable og hugging for 15 rounds.

[lsk]

if they woud prepear for 15 rounds they coud

The thing is Byrd has the stamina he has and can go 15 rounds for one good reason, he is not that big.

The fighters of today are to big and heavy, how many of the good 15 round fights has included people above 220lbs?

Todays heavy contenders are like 240-250 that way to much to drag for 15 rounds.
