    ONE BELT PER DIVISION: It Will Not Happen

    There are those who wanted to Unite all the alphabelts (WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO) into a single organization. This will not happen. In life there are two things in life that's unavoidable - death and government change.

    Life isn't static, it doesn't stay still, that's why new laws are being implemented on a regular basis, for example the 8 traditional weight classes was born 1910. There are now 17 weight classes:
    • Cruiserweight first added by the WBC in 1979
    • Super Middleweight added in 1974
    • Junior Welterweight first established by the WBC in 1968
    • Minimumweight added by the IBF in 1987


    ... and so forth and so on.

    Political systems ALWAYS transform from simple to complex . It never waivers. Humans went from hunting/gathering to farming/agricultural to industrial, etc.

    It is a wishful thinking to have ONE political organization in life. Plenty of emperors tried and failed. There would be more than one promotions company, there would more than one alphabelts giving body in boxing ALWAYS.

        The only way I can see this happening is have a major boxing league just like in other sports NBA, NFL, MBL, UEFA.

        But that is not realistic also because it's a team sports, wherein a team can go on in the event of a star player injury. Furthermore, the aforementioned sports are limited contact sports, wherein boxing is a contact sports in the fullest sense.

        As much as I hate to say this, the closes to a unified contact sports is UFC.

          Why don't the fighters just say **** the belts? The fans know they're worthless and the fighters have to pay a bull**** sanctioning fee to top it off. We need some fighters to come up and just say **** the belts. We also need to go back to the original 8 weight classes.

              I plan to have an elustrias (bad spelling ) boxing career in which i hope to capture a world title and have many classic fights for the ages and for the fans.

              But if it is the last thing i do i will make sure that i try everything in my power to get the WBC,WBA,WBO and IBF to join up and make ONE belt for each weightlcass, even if that means assassinating the heads of those orginizations

                I agree that would never happen. I like what you said about simple to complicated, that's why we have now those"interim,super, mega, ultra champions". I only wish someday we get rid of those at least.

                  That's like saying "I would assassinate every president of every country to unite them."

                    Hey Dambala, is that a picture of you on your dp? You look like Mitchell Johnson (Australians fast bowler)
