    I actually like the sanctioning bodys to a point if there were only 3 it would be fine,what i dont want to see is boxing ran like the ufc that **** is borderline pro wrestling the fighters have no say in that sport and the non exciting fighters are shunned for title oppourtuinitys just like they are in boxing,honestly if there were more fighters with balls this sport would be a lot better,we need more shane mosleys,nate campbells,glen johnsons,guys that actually care about the legacy that they leave behind.

      Pretty much how i see it.

      Boxing needs to have an everest of a belt. Having many world titles of varying significance is a good thing IMO. A true world champion needs to have overcame many world champions to make it to the top. That idea makes the champion of the world actually mean something.

      Weightclasses are a hard issue. Having so many divisions gives you a watered down feel but boxers wouldn't disagree with the freedom of weight that goes with our weightclasses. A kilo or 2 amplifys in terms of fitness and damage taken during a 12 rounder. Its fine for MMAs, thier fights over in 15 mins.

        As for weight classes there needs to be a 230 pd division that would save hw boxing if you go through time most of the greats were between 210-230.
