Word it's too many belts out.1 belt. By a federally sanctioned body. No one else can make belts.
Correct.A boxer Union just like the player leagues, have actual rankings matter. Imagine if the patriots played the lions every year.
That is the most important thing that boxing needs.A boxer Union just like the player leagues,
no having multiple belts is actually the really cool thing about boxing...
look at the ufc .. it becomes freaking bottle neck up at the top of the standings with just one belt...one shot at a time..
where as in boxing ppl can go after multiple belts which leads to bad ass unification fights...
as far as fixing boxing each organization should work together to force mandatories to keep the belt.. extension after extension etc.. fukk that.. then guys can't run away from manadtories and real threats.. and boxers must pay dearly if they duck or dodge mandatories... now ppl just drop belts to aviod ppl .. well if u paid great price you'd be forced to fight that fight.. and by great price means something like all the bodies would default you to the end of the line...
you gotta add some prestige and power to that belt... back in the day the belt meant more money... its gotta mean the same thing now..
and having four or five different sanction bodies (w.b.c. i.b.f w.b.o etc) acting within one commission would mean all the bodies would have boxing as its best interest instead of making money...
Listen, no one can keep up with of those alphabet belts though. I think it should be two belts maximum.no having multiple belts is actually the really cool thing about boxing...

the money would come and maybe boxing can be elevated into a higher tier sport...
i know ppl are gonna say well may and pac making records of money.. thats not an accurate gauge of how healthy boxing is... BOXING IS ALWAYS A DEATH OR TWO IN THE RING ON NETWORK TV from being elimanted... remember that as you see football morph into flag football in the coming decades..
That is the most important thing that boxing needs.
