Sould fifteen round championship fights make a return?

Some people can barely last 12 let alone 15.

They should have all alphabet title fights go 12 rounds. But the RING Magazine title (the only one that matters) should go for 15 rounds. Then they would be able to bring back the term "championship rounds" some substance.

They often fight 11 rounders in Thailand.

All the true champions go 12 easily, and the best ones go 15 just as easily. I mean you hear about them traing like Mayweather going against Lovemore N'Dou and Baldomir for 20x5minute rounds. Thats insane.

I really think it would help guys like MAyweather who's style is to use defense to tire out your opponent. IMO if Mayweather-De La Hoya was 15 rounds I don't think Oscar would have finished teh fight, the last two rounds besides the brief trading of shots at the end of the 12th were very ugly for Oscar, and I think it would just gotten worse over the last 3 rounds to the point someone would have stopped it. I really think Floyd and Bernard Hopkins have suffered from it NOT being 15 rounds, except Hopkins was lucky for the 12 rounds against Joe, though he still didn't get the decision. On that note Joe Calzaghe to, I think he would have a LOT more stoppage wins if it were 15 round fights, I see him potentially stopping Hopkins(I can't see Hopkins standing 3 more rounds in that fight), He would have stopped Kessler likely, and Lacy for sure.
