    Today's 15 Round Fighters

    Since the 15 round fight has been done away with for some time now, many fights could have been altered with surprisingly different outcomes had the fight gone 15 rounds. Some say 12 rounds is enough time to get a good fight, some say it's not enough time. Some say 15 rounds was too brutal.

    Which of today's fighters do you think could fight strongly for 15 grueling rounds. I only think there are a few notable fighters who have the chops to fight 15 at a championship caliber level. James Toney, Erik Morales, Bernard Hopkins, and Juan Manuel Marquez come to mind immediately. What do you think?

          Toney and Hopkins could fight for 20 rounds there just so relaxed and calm in the ring.

          I would also add Ivan Calderon to that list.

                    what about pacmab and pac-jmm? looked grueling to me...although i must admit that most pac fights didn't last more than 5 rounds because he knocks them out early in the fight.
