    Pick a twelve round fight which in your opinion, in all probability would have had a very different outcome, if the fight were over a fifteen round distance.

    I would also mention Leonard-Hagler. Leonard would survive, but lose the decision.

    Very tough to make a judgement, as tactics and fights would of probably played out differently if the fight was scheduled for 15 rather 12 rounds.

    As has been mentioned Hagler would of had an even bigger chance of beating Leonard.

    Hopkins may of had more chance against Taylor.

    Chavez would of had more chance against Whitaker.

    Holyfield a better chance against Bowe in fight one.

    Not so sure about the Whitaker fight, but I think Chavez could have made up the knockdown & edged Randall over 15.

    Bute would have been taken out on a stretcher vs Andrade.

    How about big George over Holyfield? I sure didn't like the way Evander was looking towards the end of that bout & it certainly looked like he was the guy deteriorating rapidly in there.

    Benn over Eubank #2. Like above, it sure looked like Eubank didn't have much left at the end of 12 & another 3 rounds weren't going to see him at his best.

    Mercer/Cooper. Both guys absorbed a ton in that fight and I think 1 of them crumbles during those last 3 rounds. Somebody would've hit the wall in the ability to absorb department and got stopped.
