    Oh how could i forget Marquez - Pacquiao I & II
    They would definitely have been different outcomes had they gone 15 rounds (In favour Of Marquez)

    Yes, this is exactly what i'm talking about! Juanma Lopez and Bute are obviously superior boxers to Mtagwa and Andrade respectively. Still, no one can deny that their sheer toughness and will began turning the tide of the fights in their favor and slowly began wearing their opponents down.(with the exception of Bute vs. Andrade II obviously)

    Hopkins probably would have retired after jermain taylor knowing he cant do 8 straight rounds let alone 15

    What about Hagler vs. Leonard? Does anyone think the outcome would have been different had the fight been 15 rounds like Hagler wanted?

    I thought Mosley would have beaten Cotto had there been more rounds.

    Not really, he would have likely outboxed pacquiao in the last 3 rounds and won a Unanimous in both fights....

    It's weird, in an SI article around that time, a doctor apparently said that the main cause for Kim's death was "one blow" rather than the sustained punishment he took throughout the fight. Seems hard to believe, as most ring tragedies are from sustained punishment.

    I prefer 15 rounds, and have doubts about whether fighter safety was the real reason for the change anyway.

    Froch would've KO'd Kessler. Froch is an old fashioned 15 round fighter.

    Arthur Abraham could do nothing for 10 rounds instead of 6.

    Jermain Taylor definitely would have a couple more losses.

    yeah but when you fight for 15 rounds you fight at a slower pace when prospects fight 8 rounders there gassed at the end of it but when they step up to 12 they manage cos they fight at a slower place you fight so that you give it all by the end if you gas three rounds before the finish you will lose yourself even if your up on point extra rounds favour the guys who can win more rounds unless your fighting a guy who carries his power until the 15th round
