    Manny Pacquiao
    Antonio Margarito

    Joe Calzaghe
    Ricky Hatton
    Ivan Calderon

    I agree with everyone except for Toney and Hatton.

    Toney may look relaxed in the ring but I think he tires out after awhile that's why he stops punching. He hides it well by coasting on the ropes.

    Hatton tires out often in the late rounds with the exception of his recent fight with Paulie. He also bloats up in-between fights.

    I do believe he has a great chance to improve his conditioning a lot with Floyd Sr. in his corner.

    Toney could barely go 12 the other night. Scratch him off the list. I agree with all the other ones on the original list, and would add Librado Andrade, Arthur Abraham, Chad Dawson, Israel Vasquez and Andreas Kotelnik.

    I wanted to add Vasquez but his face wouldn't make it to 15 rounds. He would be swelling like crazy due to his style and face structure

    i would qualify it and say 15 rounds with a high tempo and high punch output.

    a lot of fighters take rests during rounds and sometimes whole rounds off , and do not come much above 30 to 40 punches a round.

    when pressed hard by say a glen johnson/manny paq type fighter they cannot go at it for 15 rounds without looking for rest periods or taking rounds off.

    IMO that should lower there status.

    all those guys would be better to go 15 because they have proven they can handle it, although Hopkins would not have been great to go 15 with Calzaghe on that night. I think Hopkins when he was young would have fought well with 15 rounds, but nowadays he is getting older and 15 would be too much for him..
