    Pacquiao vs Morales 1
    Ruiz vs golota for the heck of it...

    Manny was losing on points, Morales put in a master class boxing lesson, fighting backing up, going forwards, always being the first and last to punch, turned southpaw in round 12, I would've loved to see them 3 more rounds ...

    Then golota Ruiz it was just an absurd fight. Tons of effin fouling, all types of weird stuff happening, wouldn't mind seeing the Freakshow for a couple more rounds.

    Sorry I'm babbling here, just posting my 2 fights lol.

    Leonard-Hagler was the first thing that crossed my mind as well. I really wish ALL World Championship fights were 15 though...

    I agree. This would truly separate the ATGs from the weak champions.

    I’ll go against the grain here, kinda sorta:

    Tunney vs. Dempsey I and II.

    Both were 10-round affairs, which is even shorter than today’s distance for title fights.

    Do I think it changes either outcome? Not really, but the possibility exists of Dempsey’s power coming through late or even Gene putting Jack away.

    Either way, just on general principle I wish they were 15-rounders.

    Hagler vs Leonard for sure.
    De La Hoya vs Felix and Ike. Would De La Hoya continued to play it safe or would Felix prevented it? Would Ike have been able to comeback from the 12th round and would Oscar have anything left?
