    Imo : 15 rounds was better for slick boxers

    What do you guys think?

    Who would have a better chance of winning in 15 rounds of boxing

    a slick boxer or a boxer puncher?

    Better for punchers

    More time to break a slick guy down,

    Rocky Juarez might be champion if boxing still had 15 rounds.

      15 rounds are better for pressure fighters and punchers.

      eventually the guy running will slow down.

        Arthur Abraham would be knocking guys out in 14-15 round fights.

        He always comes on late and manages to punctuate the final rounds.

          Imagine Pacquaio-Margarito going 15 rounds.

          I'm pretty sure they changed the rule because of fights like that.

            that's garcia's fault.

            the corner or ref should stop fights like that

              15 rounds would be even worse for AA, he was gassed after 3 against Ward.

                  15 rounds are better for guys that are like marathon runners with no wasted motion, guys who are like jack rabbits or who waste a ton of motion tend not to fare well in 13 14 and 15.

                    but it gives more time for AA to land a haymaker (not saying it would), and AA has shown KO power even late in fights.
