If Title fights were 15 Rounds like the pre-1980s...

If title fights were still 15 Rounds, would there be fewer boxers at the top since fights would be more gruelling?.

I don't think anything changes. Lotsa champions with 12 rounders, lotsa champions with 15 rounders. As a fan I'd rather see 15 rounds all the same.

Provodnikov would have a win over Bradley...

Jean Pascal would be far from world class, because he cant breath after 7 rounds.

15 rounds would be fine; however, it's the No Standing 8 Count that gets on my tits... Hate that rule, just cos a dude ain't down, don't mean he ain't out... kinell...

What's the problem? If he's really out still standing, there should be no problem to bring him on his kness, right?

I actually agree, he was coming on in the last rounds of the ward fight. I think Carl could do 20 rounds.

What? Fifteen rounds of Miguel Vasquez vs. Mickey Bey!
Sometimes 12 is better than 15.
