Bring back 15 round fights

[blegit]

Taking the fights down to 12 rounds is a safety move. It is a must. Humans are only evolving into bigger, stronger, and faster athletes. What athletes can do now is much more deadlier. With 15 rounds you would surely see many more deaths and other tragedies. Marciano was an 187 pound heavyweight. Now we have 6'7" 260 pound heavyweights on the regular. 15 rounds of guys that size would be much more disastrous. I know fans like to see only their perspective and want blood at whatever cost but boxing is still a sport. We can not allow it to be savagery. Ward/Gatti for 15 rounds? Thats 45 minutes of getting punched. That'd be like pushing MMA title fights to 9 five minute rounds. Boxing once was an ignorant sport. It used to be bareknuckle, used to have eternal rounds, used to not end a round until a knockdown occurred, etc. Boxing already holds the longest fights 36 minute fights. 15 rounds would be tunneled vision acknowledgement of the people outside the ring and a total disregard for the safety of the fighters. Nice for the fans but deadlier chances for the human beings in the ring.

I don't mind the 12 rounds, but I think change the way the purse works so fighters get more for winning and less for losing.. Then i'd like to say say throw in a sliding scale so you get more for more rounds you win, but the judges already have to much power in a lot of cases and when their ridiculous scoring determins a couple of 100 thousand dollars, I wouldn't like to touch that one with a pole...
But a bonus for win by knockout would be good...

Just add some more haste and fireworks in the the 12 rounds we have and i'd be happy...

Plus thinking of some of the more boring fights of recent memory, they were already 9 rounds to long...

You make a good argument, I suppose, but none of it is particularly relevant to rounds 13-15 in title fights. It's as much an argument for reducing the length to 10 rounds, or three, or preventing fighters form having more than 20 career fights, or banning the sport altogether.
