In boxing's infancy fighter's faught until their opponent could not compete anymore. While this is not logical today in modern times with concussion's and parkinson's out there. That kind of fighting spirit is missing from the sport. Great fighters like Louis, Marciano, Ali, Hagler, Duran, plus more you get it, would fight for 15 round bouts for a lot less money than the fighter's of today are making.
15 rounds makes for a much better fight because thats a long time to just run and if you do run for that long you won't have to worry about getting many more big fights. 15 is an odd # so it would make for a lot less draws and quite frankly the fighter's would be less likely to continue that long.
12 rounds is suitable for a heavyweight fight because the division is based on power punching. But these little guy's out here fighting for 12 rounds or a de****able 10 rounds in that Devon Alexander fight last week has to stop at the point where fighters are asking for $50 million while the pay per view cost keeps growing let's give the people what they pay for a real fight and not a glorified sparring session.
