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

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

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

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........

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.

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.

I know. It's outrageous!
And what about the WBU?
I'm thinking about a hunger strike.

Because they are bogus.

Don’t forget, old heads are not big on the WBO either.

It also took a long time for the IBF to be fully accepted.

No one includes the IBO.

True. Now we’re at the point where it’s hurting the sport.

One world champ, regional champs from - Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, North America.

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