    Guys like Joe 'King' Roman, Chuck Wepner, Duane Bobick, Leroy Jones, Howard Smith, Jose Luis Garcia, Leon Spinks, and Kallie Knoetze were highly rated contenders in the 70s.

    They are not preparing for 15 rounds. If they trained for 15 rounds they could go 15. Why does no one that.

    Look even if the modern fighters couldn’t go 15. What’s that got to do with past fighters being overrated. Being able to go 15 rounds doesn’t make you a better fighter than someone who can only go 12 it just means you have more endurance.
    Now how about you stop posting garbage on my thread and go throw insults at someone else when they are just trying to have a friendly debate.

    So now you're just factually lying, because you think it backs up your agenda? What is wrong with you?

    No, it's not opinion, when you say boxers today couldn't fight 3 times in 2 weeks. That's FACTUALLY wrong - as lots of boxers are doing just that.

    Take a look at someone like Kevin McCauley - who has done this on more than a dozen different occations.

    So instead of just admitting, that there are boxers today who can (and actually do!) fight 3 times over a period of 2 weeks - you just hurl insults around, and ignore the FACTS. And I'm the one with a mental ilness?
