If you had the power, would you bring back 15 rounds ?

    Yes. I saw hundreds of 15 round tittle fights. They are no more dangerous than 12 round fights in my opinion. I saw many fights that a fighter was behind in and he turned things around in the last three rounds. What would three more rounds do for Chavez in his last fight? How about three more rounds in the Trinidad-De La Hoya fight. I would not want fights to be more than 15 rounds but 15 rounds is a good test for real champions in important fights.

        I think 12 rounds is plenty of time to get the job done. no need to backtrack to the prehistoric days. lol

          Mancini-Kim is enough to say no.

          We're not the one's in there, we're just watching. Easy to say to bring it back when it's not you.
          It was the combination of Ray being a good fighter who hit hard and Kim having a bad weight cut, not the 15 rounds

          And a lot of the reason it was made this way was for cable networks not for fighter safety

                  Most definitely for championship fights.
                  Its where legends show their heart.

                      I would without a doubt welcome back 15 rounds.

                      It would be interesting to see how many self-proclaimed "throw back" fighters of today test their grit to what so many throw back fighters of yesteryear has already done.

                      We should list the fighters of today that COULDN'T hang in for 15 rounds...
