    I think you'll find most worldclass fighters could. They'd reduce their punch outputs accordingly to go the distance. Fighters 20 years ago weren't fitter than fighters today.

    Anyone under a heavyweight should be able to go 15, and then some.

    Calzaghe, Juan Diaz, PBF, PacMan, Johnson, Campbell, Mijares: they would be great 15 rounders. Especially the first 3 who'd shine between the 13-15th rounds.

    I think Klitschko can go 15, just off the jab alone ... The new breed of HW's can fight 15 rounds ...

    Juan Diaz suprisingly can go 15 rounds in my opinion ... as round as he is ... this ****er is in great shape.

    I never seen him winded or exausted after a 12 round bout ... considering his high workrate ... its very weird to see that.

    uhh I don't know about that ... I think there are a select few world class fighters (that aren't mexicans from mexico) that can go 15 rounds.

    you need to take a look at the workrate of those fighters that went 15 their work rate was higher than the current workrate of many 12 round fighters.

    Isn't that weird?

    You see so many fighters gassed off after 12 rounds ...

    why not, i have very rarely seen hatton tire and even when he is he still comes forward and attacks, i would say he could go fifteen
