Why not 2 belts per division only? One belt for the Americas and the other represents the rest of the world or the international champion.

The best thing about having four sanctioning bodies is that it makes it hard to monopolize boxing. That used to be a good thing.

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

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 current pool of sanctioning bodies? Very weakly presented.
