    All programmed to go 36 minutes, but 12 rounders are crap compared to the olden days.

    Boxing shouldn't be a sprint, it should be man against man for a good hour and that's what 15 rounders are.
    I'd love to have 15-rounders back. But that's probably largely a function of what we grew up on. I'm sure the old-old timers thought the sport was going to hell when fights were shortened to 15.

    Marvin Hagler was a great 15 round fighter,mind you he was
    not a bad 12 round fighter, for those that could last with him.?
    SLR v Hagler, those extra 3 round's would have been to much
    for SRL.?

    Leonard-Hagler was won at the negotiating table as much as it was won in the ring. Hagler needed the fight more than Leonard did, and he acceded to Leonard's team's demands for the conditions of the fight, including a bigger ring, bigger gloves, and 12 rounds instead of 15. All of those factors helped Leonard. I suspect that if those three things had been decided differently, Hagler would have won the fight.
