    Well for todays type of fan I think 12 rounders are better they provide more sustained action since it is a shorter race they need to worry less about conserving energy.

    15 rounders are like a marathon and the beginning is often rather dull but those last 3 rounds are very good.

    Different styles do well according to distance a more hyper active fighter will do well at todays distance while a more conservative fighter would do well in 15 rounders.

              Floyd's in excellent condition, so 12 or 15, I don't think it matters.

                You thought Duran-Leonard 1 was boring?
