Comments Thread For: Six steps to a boxing utopia (Part I)

I've posited before that you can keep the current 4 sanctioning bodies, but that there must be tournaments to get to the undisputed championship on a regular (yearly?) basis in every division. Everybody loves tournaments.

Don't go on to Pt 2 until you've finished Pt 1. You've said nothing at all about the implementation of this proposal. How do we get rid of the currenty pool of sanctioning bodies? Very weakly presented.

Right , it's a nice dream but the problem is HOW can it be done ? They can't take the sanctioning body heads and employees and force them out of boxing , I don't see any of those leeches giving up their bogus businesses voluntarily, or for anything but ridiculous money. So what can Turki do other than offer them a deal that they can't refuse , or take them to the nearest Saudi Embassy and do them like they did Khashoggi ?

I view the titles the same way I view divisional champions in the NFL. For example, Tank is the NFC South Champ, Shakur is the AFC West champ, etc, etc. Occasionally we will get a conference champ (unification), and then every once in a while we get a Super Bowl (undisputed).

Thats the only way I can maintain my sanity with all the foolishness........

You know, I'm not sure I would be terribly upset to hear about Mauricio getting Khashoggi'd.

I suspect that the line to pee on his grave would be a long one , the one to poop on it even longer.

So that's what "KO" stands for. Most Excellency!

One belt per division will only work if the champion has to fight at least every 4 months (3 fights per year). If they don't then they are stripped and rejoin the rankings. If they can't due to injury they are stripped but are next in line again when they are fit. No immediate rematches allowed and no step asides allowed.

That'd be pretty cool. There's so much more room for innovation under one roof.

That statement is patently illogical.

That statement is patently illogical.

If no one can come together, how is anything going to get done?

I like the idea as long as the 3 fight rule is included for champs to defend so they can't sit on belts.
