What is Boxing missing? TRUTHFULLY

[Fenom]

im sittin here thinking..... what missing today that they had back in the day...... back when boxers like Ali, Frazier, Foreman werent just "boxers" they were sports figures!

whats missing today that would make the sport transcend back to were it rightfully should be?

are we missing talent? better fights? entertainers? what?!

chop it up...

EDIT: keep the ideas coming.. imma make this into a poll as to which one everyone feels would help put the sport back in the mainstream

we are missin clarification..nowadays 4 fighters can have the same belt

[Testdead]

More characters, better cards and more years like 2008.

Unified champions.
Fan who pay for talent rather than persona.
Fighters who care about the sport/glory more than the paycheck.
Honest promoters.
Honest sanctioning bodies.
Honest judging.
Less weight classes, meaning a challenge in moving up in weight.

Just to name a few things.

Unifying belts is a good one cause there should only be one champion per weight class..
and also, more top fights, like for example why was Ali's era good? cause of all the good fights in the era...ali-liston, ali-frazier, ali-foreman, etc.

fighters these days just wanna get paid instead of fighting all the top names out there...ducking opponents that could make for good fights but prob wouldnt make as much money..lol

i agree with all of these comments... especially the clarification part cuz nowadays we have a thousand champions... where as back in the day we had one clear decisive champion

so what do you think? we need entertaining fighters who have charisma and are THE champion, who run that division?

i like all those points... i think the hardest part of all those to change would be the promoters and sanctioning bodies.. more simply what controls the money in the sport
