      Pac will be cautious and Floyd will be extra cautious. Excitement wise, it's going to be Haye-Wlad.

      12 rounds will be crap enough to sit through. Don't add another 3.
      it could probably be crap but I am sure it wont he Haye-Wlad crappy ...

        I disagree completely (no disrespect)...Its not like Pac and May arent already training as hard as they can as it is...they could do 15 NOW , with the training they do...just because the fight ends after 12 doesnt mean they couldnt keep going if called upon....

          and I dont believe Pac will be cautious either...Pac steps it up when it needs to be stepped up...

                15 rounds favor Manny more than Floyd, if any...
                Like someone already pointed out, it gives Manny additional time to land more devastating punches.

                IMO, Floyd already wins a 12 rounds fight with Manny by just boxing (boring).

                Similar to Khan vs Maidana, 3 more rounds would've changed the outcome of that fight. Not to say that fight is of same caliber as May vs Pac.

                  I know as well as anyone on here how tough professional boxing is...but at the same time, it is PROFESSIONAL BOXING...15 rounds was and would be for the elite, it is what separates the champions from everyone else...adding oil slicks to a car race is a silly suggestion and is not comparable in any way...going 15 rounds is special and it would bring back the s"pecialness" of being a WORLD CHAMPION...I assure u , 100 0pct. Mayweather and Pac can go 15 rounds in their sleep...NO DOUBTS..and if others cannot? Then they are not worthy of being a 15 round elite world champion...
                  Roy jones jr., Antonio Tarver, James Toney, Johnny Tapia..... All of these fighters were nothing special because they werent 15 round fighters.

                  If you really want to see who the baddest is then we should go back to bare knuckle boxing. 15 rounds, bare knuckle..... Why not, it would be for the fans pleasure.

                  Aswell, have you not thought about the fighters pacing themselves differently for a 15 round fight? It might actually slow down the action.

                  Truthfully, if these fights were shorter you would see more action.

                  It's a novel idea John but it's not going to happen. While you and the fans say lets see more blood, more knockouts and more rounds the commisions will continue to protect themselves as well as the fighters by keeping it limited to 12 rounds. You maybe on television talking boxing but in this case here your opinion sucks a**.

                  How would you like to be working a fighters corner who is headed out for the 13th round. You can see the bulges pertruding from his face and you know that his tank is running on empty. You gonna send him out so that he may become one of these special 15 elite fighters? You probably would looking at what could be gained instead of recognizing that this damaged fighter that you are sending out for more punishment is after all a humain being.

                  12 rounds is plenty..........Rockin'

                    Workrate may be redueced, particularly for a lot of top fighters.

                      Disagree. I'm leaning towards a one sided victory by Floyd at this point, no need to drag it out 3 more rounds.

                      Also, can you imagine Williams-Lara, Pac-Margarito, or Klitschko-Briggs going 15?? Those guys could have been seriously hurt...
