If you could chose 1, which would it be...Less gov. bodies or fewer weight classes?

Less governing bodies by a light year, these sanctioning orginizations are the reason why so many fights have never came through with their rules that object to what fans really want.

less gov. bodies. So that the best will fight the best in each division will likely happen.:boxing:

I'm rewatching the PPV from last night and they raised an interesting point as far as both hurting the sport of boxing. With that said if you could only chose one to get rid of the help boxing move in the right direction, which would it be............one champ per division or 8-10 weight classes with 3 champs (max) per class? taking away the many governing bodies would be best. this would mean that the 140 lbers would actually face each other before being considered the top guy (for example). it would take away more cherry picking, and paper champs.

The whole system needs to be blown up, boxing needs a complete year off while a new system is ushered in and properly managed. Hell, have the commissioner from the NFL come take over...it ain't only the sanctioning bodies that need to be eliminated, but the state commissions, promoters.

Less governing bodies wouldn't erase the corruption in the sport of boxing, it would make it worse.

i would be happy if there were just 3 belts instead of 4 or the others that claim to have world champs

Less governing bodies. I don't mind people fighting at a weight this feel most comfortably at or even moving up to take on some of the best. I do feel more belts dilute who the best at any given weight division is though. Less belts, more comp.

Both would be good. However 1 champ per weight class would be the best. It means contenders would have to fight each other before they can earn a title shot. Yeah imagine how hard boxers would fight to earn a shot at a title. This would eliminate guys like Povetkin who give up their spots and fighters trying to cherry pick their way to vacant and b.s. belts.

in my opinion, governing bodies do more damage to the sport than more weight classes. i'd love to get rid of both but if i had a choice, i'd get rid of governing bodies first. I personally feel one champ per division would eliminate a lot of the b.s. and politics in boxing. There would be no back doors to titles, title fights would mean more, and the eliminators for shots at the champ would be very entertaining bouts.

both. but if i had to choose one it would be one champ per division. the gov. bodies have destroyed the credibility of this sport.
