Top Modern fighters who were handicapped by the 12 round limit?

Valero.... He never seems to make the 12 round journey... heheheheheheheheheehe.

 

Chavez seems like one of those guys who would've been better under 15 rounds. The Taylor fight would've been a slaughter if continued into the 13th.

 

Definitely in agreement as far as JM Marquez is concerned, he'd probably be 2-0 against Pacman had their fights been over 15 rounds, and his other controversial losses to Norwoodand John could well have been different if he'd had an extra 3 rounds.

 

tito always came on stronger as a fight progressed. so does ricky hatton.

antonio margarito would of been better in the 15 round days (dodgy handwraps or not)

 

Ray Leonard benefitted and was also handicapped by the 12 rounders.......

SRL was smart to fight Hagler in a scheduled 12 rounder in 1987.... I scored the fight for SRL---BARELY!!

SRL really could've used an additional "3" rds more in 1989 against Hearns in Vegas..... Hearns was fully spent and ready to go in the final 12th rd., where as SRL seemed like he found a third surge of energy..... I think SRL would've TKO'd Hearns again in the 13, 14 or 15th rd....

MR.BILL:bbb

 

yeah i'll go with JMM too

 

Chavez was the first name that popped into my head as well.

I think de la Hoya would of benefited big time from 15 rounders.

Hopkins would of made an excellent 15 round fighter.

Calzaghe would of only benefited from 15 rounders.

I think Virgil Hill would not lose much with the extra championship rounds.

 

James Toney.

 

Liberado Andrade

 

Top level? I see your point though in the way he was gipped against Bute.

 

Anyone else think Calzaghe could have possibly have stopped Hopkins with 3 more rounds? B-Hop was struggling with the pace, even though it obviously ended very close.

 

yeh but taht wasnt hopkins in there really he was crap and had no stamina

 

Yes due to the pace Calzaghe fights at. He was fine against Pavlik because he's so slow.
