as matter of fact, most sanctioning bodies have that rule of defending the belt at least every 3-4 months but they're just too damn greedy and favor athletes with a the most greenbacks that gives them massive bargaining power. jose sulaiman (WBC), francisco varcarcel (WBO) and IBF/USBA are all snakes and only care about making money, if there would only be one governing body, that cut throat business attitude goes right out the window

From a news paper article in 1937:
Jack Dempsey knows his own game. When he says boxing will be washed up within a year, unless something's done, he's talking straight from his heart. "It isn't boxing anymore, he complains, "but just a big lawsuit."
Still, when Jack thinks the evils of his former occupation can be cleaned up by appointing a czar-someone like judge landis, who runs organised baseball, there is room for doubt
