    You have to give the man credit. He's fought six times in the last two years and keeps on beating B and C level guys. I wish the top fighters would fight that often.

    Reinstating 15 round fights would result in a sharp decline in the number of elderly pugilists. Also, having referees that are confident enough to let fights go much longer than what we have now. The old men would drop like flies. There's a reason they're called "The Championship Rounds".

    That’s crazy he was around already when I was a 17 year old kid starting boxing. I remember watching him on Eurosport. Or maybe it was the German TV channel. He was one of those familiar names on TV that I looked up to. I am 39 now.

    Stamina is the most boring of all the athletic traits to observe by it's very nature. I don't wanna see people be less explosive for longer periods of time, nor do I wanna see slow twitch athletes dominate what works best as a fast twitch sport. Less Joe Joyce's and more Mike Tyson's. 12 Rounders >>> 15 Rounders.
