My proposal...

It was supposed to be but didn't turn out that way.

I disagree that it was ever considered a super fight. To many people don't like the K bros. Besides that neither the K bros or Haye has world wide name recognition or appeal. You can't sit here and say that Haye vs. Wlad had the world waiting like Bowe vs. Holyfield or Tyson vs. Holyfield. Haye vs Wlad was no where near that level and those were true super fights. Haye vs Wlad was just the so called best heavyweight fight that could be made at this time.

There is no doubt in my mind that when it happens the sanction bodies and promoter should make a special provision that Mayweather and Pacquio should be allowed to go FIFTEEN rounds in their fight...definitely...bring all fights of this magnitude, only the BIGGEST SUPER FIGHTS, back to 15 rounds...make them REALLY special...

i think 15 rounds might be an advantage to pac though.

Well regardless it does point to the draw back of a 15 round fight for special occasions and even if you don't consider it a super fight a long awaited HW unification is special enough to do something different like that.

So 15 rounds of anti-climactic inaction instead of 12?

No matter how many rounds it's scheduled for, I smell a dud.

it very may well be a dud action-wise.

but 15 is to pac's advantage imo.

What is the feasibility of such a condition in Vegas?
They did bend the rule for Cotto-Margarito gloves condition...

I say let them go unlimited rounds, after two years of BS, one of them needs to get KTFO...

Please explain the bold

i'm expecting floyd to outbox pac and win rounds.

more rounds gives pac more chances to land a shot that can hurt floyd.


i also think pac has the superior stamina.

pac can fight at floyd's pace no problem but i think floyd might have a problem fighting pac's pace. (big if that pac can force his pace but still)

The long delay in making the fight is to Pac's advantage. Floyd Mayweather is declining and IMO it's gonna show big time against Victor Ortiz, a fight which reminds me of when Ray Leonard "handpicked" Terry Norris and then got his ass kicked for his troubles. Either Ortiz outright beats Mayweather, or he exposes him as a fighter in decline and loses a close fight. The longer it takes Pac to get Floyd in the ring, the greater his chance of victory becomes.

I can respect why you see things that way.
