    If they changed it back to 15 today the Klitchkos would be fine their fights are sparring sessions and they dont exactly get emotionally involved in fights or throw a million shots, itsall so easy calm and clinical - not to mention DULL!

    But stick them in with anyone good and in a FIGHT, they will gas.

      Cotto was absolutely exhausted.

        I think Alexander could, don't think I could take hearing those sound effects for 15 rounds though. I also think a guy like Martinez would really suffer from it.

            How do you mean? He has a great engine on him. U think he'd start getting sloppy late, taking punches he shouldnt?

              Yeah of course, many fighters would suffer from it, but I feel 12 rounds sometimes just isn't enough plus its better to have an odd number of rounds.

                Well I've seen him take rounds just to rest, we've seen him get tired before, its not so much about his stamina more about a very high activity, moving around a lot, same with Dirrell.

                  By, "over twelve," I mean over the course of twelve rounds, not over as in, "more than," twelve.

He could do 15 his stamina is great but i think his style and thus effectiveness would suffer if he had another 3 rounds to fight on top of the normal 12
                    pac has done 24 before..............
