How would you improve the sport of Boxing?

[DGKallday]

Not to sound like a douche but we're talkin about what we would do to improve/fix boxing, is there anything we can do now? (ie petition to dissolve the sanctioning bodies and establishing 1 governing body, eliminate weight classes, etc)?

[Tiozzo]

And how about having judges' ****ty decisions overturned later on. Like Holmes/Spinks 2 where many thought that Holmes clearly won or Holyfield/Lewis 1.

this makes no sense, totally out of context

and I think Spinks beat Holmes the second time too

one belt each weight class with forced defenses with large penaltys for not taking mandatorys i.e. if pac may dont fight they are suspended and fined
same day weigh ins
cheaper ticket prices to gather larger crowds
holding large fights in large venues
boxing on nationall tv
more super six like tournaments !!!!

somehow improve judging ????
instant replay
legalized ******** on fights

1. An international governing body to oversee all testing, to make sure all testing remains consistant and up to date with the advancement of all PEDs. As well as OST for any title & title elimination bouts. I would love year-round testing, i just don't see how it could be done.

2. Replay use in-between rounds for any call by the Ref that is questionable, if any correction are needed, state them at the end of the following round, keeping the fighter from having to stop for any long period of time.

I'll keep thinking.

Needs to be more accesible. (Regular TV)

One sanctioning body.

No super, or Light divisons

Better all around cards.

Eliminate the "super" and "light" divisions

Olympic style drug testing implemented

create a tourney style championship ending each year.

Lamest thing in my eyes, are the 17 weightclass' and 4-10 belts pr division. I'm ok with 8-10 weightclass'. To go up 2 pounds, and become champion in a second weightclass' is just laughable. IBF, WBC and WBA is actually fine by me, if you just remove the superchamp, wbc silver belt and so on. 3 champions pr. weightclass seems ok to me, with only 8-10 weightclass'. This gives anyone an oppotunity to fight the best. Maybe push people to face eachother..

There should be more of a ladder type system, the best fighting and no ducking and dodging, although fighters should be able to negotiate their own deals, and super and lightweight classes should be eliminated.

No ducking. If you're the #1 contender, you're forced to fight the belt holder. Everyone is forced to fight the best fighters all the time.
