Slim one of your comments sticks out to me here..
The one about Robinson and Moore etc with 100+ KO's on their record, flat strap from bell to bell and dynamite in their fists...
Tell THAT to Manny Pacquiao (regarding workrate)
Tell THAT to Gennady Golovkin (regarding dynamite)
And as for the 100 KO's, the reason is the same as for WHY they could perform as they did perform...
They fought opposition so abysmally poor, hardly any if any of them would ever step foot in a boxing ring with a top rated professional, let alone not get knocked out well within 12, let alone 15!
Obviously nobody could have so many fights against good opposition.

Well Slim...
That WAS actually what I considered one of my "smoking gun" arguments..
And I suppose you're right.. I also am not immune to that philosophy.
I'll shut up for now. Because from there on as you will tell me if I continue, it's only my opinion (with regards to modern training methods, skills, athleticism etc), I stand by it, I can see it! We KNOW of some methods now which have replaced old.
But statistically there's only really the weight argument, and if we adjust for real weight in lower divisions, then we're only really talking about HW.
Well done.

I'd be more interested in them simply because it ends in an odd number of rounds as opposed to 6-6I just think guys would adjust accordingly with addition of 3 rounds. Maybe a couple more feel out rounds in beginning and it had a lot to do with network timelines also. I don't think had the Holmes-Norton or Holyfield-Qawi 1 late firefights been 12 rounders they would have lacked any of the intensity or action with respects to the level of those fighters and what they did with time they had.
