    Inspired by the other thread where jas asked about 4 round fighters, which fighters past or present do you think would have different win/loss ratio if they were to only have fought 4 round fights their whole career.
    keep in mind, there are fast and slow starters, and some boxers tend to get knocked down early..

    Felix Trinidad would have more losses and Zab Judah would have a lot more wins; including a win over Floyd Mayweather.

    maybe true. alot of fighters like Floyd tend to feel out their oppents at first and might lose a round or two while doing so.

    then again, they most likely fight with more urgency knowing that there are only four rounds.

    pro fights would either be alot more action packed or tactical.

    Calzaghe would have lost to Hopkins and Jones Jr due to the early knock downs.

    Jermain Taylor would be undefeated.

    Marquez would have lost the 1st Pac fight by a landslide and never got any rematches.

    Bowe would have lost to Golota before the pole imploded.

    Froch is a slow starter and Hopkins doesn't do much in the early rounds.

    Pascal's would be better because he starts to tire early.

    Mayweather would've lost, hell so would the unbeatable Calzaghe.

    Marquez is good at making adjustments so he would have quite a few more L's.

    Hard to say for sure because obviously a lot of guys feel their opponents out for the 1st couple of rounds which is a tactic that would be fairly foolish in a 4 round fight.

    1 guy who would be exactly the same- Ali Raymi.

    He'd be labled a bum.
