What changes would you make in boxing if you were a commisioner that had absolute rul

id penalised whoever refuses to fight under commision rules, like testing,etc....no catchweights title fight or not.....4 belts is (nothing more)ok becuase of the amount of boxers deserving title shots at a time...unification of titles is mandatory tho ...

I would get rid of the WBA because they screw over all these young boxers that pay sanction fees for bogus belts. And the WBC because they favor certain fighters and give high ranking and title shots to underseving fighters. I'd keep the IBF and WBO along with the ring magazine. And would cut the divisions down to 13 divisions heavyweight 200+ cruiserweight 199 light heavyweight 180 super middleweight 170 middleweight 160 welterweight 150 light welterweight 140 lightweight 135 featherweight 130 bantamweight 125 flyweight 120 light flyweight 112 strawweight 106 I'd take out light middleweight, super featherweight, super bantamweight, & super flyweight. Putting 10 pounds above light welterweight and pounds below lightweight Why do you have light Flyweight and Flyweight 8 pounds difference. But, the divisions between Flyweight all the way to light welterweight 5 pounds difference? :thinking: That really makes no sense IMO. I don't even like your weight-class scenario because it's changing the original 8. You can't touch and change the original 8 weight-classes. That would be horrendous. It's history man.

No more weightclasses!!!

you all got good suggestions... here's mine in addition to yours - if a boxer cuts his opponent with headbutts in his last 5 fights, said boxer is automatically suspended for half a year - excessive holding and clinching will get a boxer suspended for half a year - force alphabet orgs to recognize a standardized ranking system - more tournaments in the vein of the bantamweight tourney and the super six

Weigh-ins 2-3h before the fights.

Two belts for every division so we can still have epic unification bouts. No catchweights for championship bouts. Two sanctioning bodies. Less divisions.

Make knives legal in the ring.

No catchweights for title fights.

One division. One belt. Every two fights #1 takes on #2. Winner fights the champ. Might as well have a Battle Royal lol

one title in a division champions must fight only top 10 ranked guys or be stripped instant replay will be used title fights will be 15 rounds

No gloves.

45 Rounds for the Heavyweight Championship of the World!
