    I thought the 10th KO was pretty definitive.

    maybe but Ray would have probably found a way to go the distance, but he might have lost a decision.

    I think Rosario Camacho is the same. Camacho wins.

    I don't . I think Hearns was going to hang in there, and Ray is the one who went to the hospital after that fight not Hearns. Ray was trying everything to get Hearns out of there. He was exhausted.

    It is a hard question to answer. If they knew it was 15 rounds they would fight differently from the start. The question as it is asked is almost like saying if it went 12 rounds, what if at the end of those 12 we added 3 more rounds.

    I am always wary of this logic.

    Change the distance of the fight, and you change every decision that both fighters make.

    The only fights that I would name, would be ones where I thought that the winning fighter on the cards, could not have gone fifteen rounds!

    McCall Bruno perhaps.

    You don't think that Chapo could hurt him in the championship rounds.

    No. Hector was running in those last rounds and he was hurt, but he was not getting caught with that left hook anymore. And Rosario was getting tired also.

    It seem a stretch but Ward v Froch.
    Although Ward won handily, on two of the cards the scores were 115-113 with Froch coming on strong and winning the last 2 rounds.
