Wy dont fighters unify?!?!?!?

Because fighters who unify are tied up with like 3 mandatories every year, have to pay sanctioning fees, and are stripped as soon as they want to fight anyone. Look at Tim Bradley. Beat two legit beltholders and they stripped him because he wanted to fight Campbell. Yup it's complete bullshit, fighters can't unify because you'll a shit load of fees and belt organizations demanding these bum mandatories all year round.....

I hate that too, I have a few reasons why: 1-Sanctioning bodies, they are the worst. They charge those fees, they strip some fighters when they're about to unify because they want them to fight a meaningless mandatory instead of another beltholder. 2-Promoters, they couldn't care less about "who's the best, or the real champ" they just want the most marketeable fighter. Example: **Bob Arum with Juanma Lopez(not fighting Caballero) **Bob Arum with Pavlik (not fighting Abraham or Sturm) 3-Fighters who take those belt like hostages forever and never intend to unify. Example: **Zsolt Erdei, Chris John, Edgar Sosa, Felix Sturm etc.

Politics, promoters, santioning fees, ect... The whole system of professional boxing should be gutted. Make ONE organization (similar to FIFA in soccer) with about 11 weight classes and ONE world champion in each class. To crown the initial champion a 8 or 16 man seeded elimination tournament should be made to crown the new champion. All the fighters should sign onto this idea and just drop all the alphabet belts. If they ignore the sanctioning bodies and no one ever pays sanctioning fees they will go out of business.

Sumtimes the fighters feel safe wit a belt and they content to fight soft opponents forever. Other times the sanctioning bodies don't allow it. thats bullshit tho, best should fight the best!!!

and its so aggravating watchin guys in the division not get shots they deserve, like clottey should get a rematch with cotto, or a shot at berto, but we all know that wont happen.

Sanctioning fees and mandatories, mostly. thats a joke, why have sanctioning fee's???? wouldent it be better to unify instead of fighting crap mandatorys that are like 24-20 (o ko's).

It's more about the boxing politics involved that prevents a fighter from unifying the belts. There are those sanctioning bodies that they have to pay a large amount of money to sanction a fight and there's also the mandatory challengers asigned by these sanctioning bodies. There's also the promotional side of it, there are some champions where a fight with a another fighter would not make big revenue.

There will never be unified champs across the board. Best thing to do is stop respecting the belts and start acknowleding who you believe is the lineal champ. Yes, sometimes its hard to figure out who is the legitimate champ...but its easier than keeping track of the 4 of them damn belts.

i think its cuz they dont wanna pay the sanctioning fees for each belt organization.

i believe dawson has tried he has held two tiltles in the same division but he got stripped why da **** he get stripped??????

Blame the promoters, not the fighters. AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! it gets me pissed :grumpy:

this is BULLSHIT, i just saw the titles for all wieght divisions, there is not 1 unifyed champ, except for maybe wlad and JMM, i mean WTF is this?? like ZSOLT ERDEI isnt fighting anywhere near the best in his division, dawson, johnson, pascal, its a ****in joke. LWW has a ton of tilists, are they gonna unify or what. i dont consider any of these guys champs, marvin hagler was a champ, these guys are just title holders, its ridiculas!! like how in the flying **** is berto WBC champ, WHAT!!!! and we all know he dont wanna unify, all anyone from 135-154 wants to do is fight pac, **** pac, he's gonna beat cotto, fight floyd, then retire like he SAID he would do. discuss your thoughts. Blame the promoters, not the fighters.
