    What if Championship fights had remained at the 15 round distance? Which fighters in your opinion would have greatly benifited from these extra three rounds?

    We do this one roughly once every six weeks lad.

    What about Pernell Whitaker, If he had three extra rounds to work with. Some of his controversial fights wouldn't be as close. He never appeared to be tired at the end of any of his fights. Which Heavyweights would have had the gas to comfortably go 15?

    If 15 rounds fights had still been the norm over the last 20 years, no one would complain anymore about the ending to Chavez-Taylor.

    It wouldn't do Floyd Mayweather any harm.
