Time to bring back the 15 rounders?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

What if Morales - Barrera was 15 rounds!?!?
What if Pacquiao - Marquez was 15 rounds!?
What if Gatti - Ward was 15 rounds!?!?

It goes the other way around too Mack

i know...it all evens out...that's why i think its fine now..except for draws...those should warrant extra rounds

I have to agree,they need to bring back 15 rds of boxing,oh and get rid of all the bogus belts as well..There should be one belt and one belt alone,the Ring belt..All these damn belts are driving me crazy,that heavyweight that fought on the undercard of Devon Matt's had like 4 belts and not one of umm meant jack ****...

I prefer the old fifteen round format, but I've gotten used to twelve rounders. Once the change is in, it's hard to take back.

I have to agree, in principle, with what you say about belts. The old "one division, one champ" way is the only way. All these ridiculous alphabet belts only benefit the organizations that support them and the (usually) mediocre fighters that hold them.

They will never do it unfortunately.

It went down to twelve after bouts like Ali Frazier in Manilla, but surely that kind of fight in those searing temperatures is not the norm. 12 rounds is too often unsatisfactory. I give you Macklin Sturm last week as an example.

Rocky Juarez might have been a champion.

Everyone knows Margarito had plaster mits so he is a bad example plus you can always stop the fight and these guys get way to much money for a fight to complain about three more rounds.

Rocky Juarez might have been a champion.

LMFAO

Most of the people that ask for this are fans that have no idea what it's like to get into the ring.

Very macho.

You obviously don't know the history of the sport if you are worried about getting hurt it's time to find a new profession because this is the hurt business, these boys are making more in one fight than other pro athletes make all year. Along with olympic testing let's just put them in head gear, because I've seen better sparring sessions at the gym than some of these fights.

If they make it 15 rounds, Gayweather will surely break the Marathon records on all of his fights.

The championship rounds had more meaning. All the mental and physical attributes got tested. Don't think you would have these 6'07" 250 lbs HW around or fighters bloating up 15-20lbs at fight night.

Doubt if they ever come back cause it is the accumalation of more punches in a fight and in a career
