    i'd feel that the sport is safer and more exciting becus of the fewer rounds now. that 15 rounds ruined a lot of people.

    I believe the last heavyweight to retire fighting 15 rounders that actually went 15 rds was Holmes vs Spinks. Foreman was probably the last heavywight to retire that was was fighting in 15 rounders, but never had to go the full 15. I believe the outcome of many of todays fights would be different if they were 15 rounders.

    Exactly. Holyfield is still active. He fought 15 rounders.
