What 5 things would you change about boxing?

[Roksan]

Just assume you could make 5 changes in boxing what would they be? My changes would be:

1) One belt = one champ
2) No catch weights
3) Only top 5 can challenge for the title
4) Must defend title within 6 months
5) No hometown advantages

What would you change if you had the opportunity?

I agree with most of your point. I would exchange #5 for: Stricker drug testing, cameras on dressing rooms and ramdom checks on training by independant PI to avoid any cheaters from cheating his opponent at the expense of the Organizations to allow them to use those fees for something more than leaching off the boxers.

And would add VIDEO REVIEWS when a call is questionable by any of the judges, official scores turned in round by round.

AND a percentage of all going for retirement for boxers after they reach retirement age.

I would eliminate fans, critics, Alphabet orginizations and the media. They seem to be the biggest problems with boxing right now.

Get rid of the junior & super divisions.
One belt for each division.
All top fighters fight eachother.

Some of them in the lower divisions yes, but boxing needs 168 between 160 and 175, also there if anything should be something between 175 and 200 because 25lbs is just too big of a gap.

damn i thought about it for a while and the list i came up with was basically a UFC-type organization operating in a ring with boxing rules

including similar weight divisions, every event showcasing newcomers alongside the biggest names so the fans all know the top 20 in every division by heart, etc

so ill just not bother cause people will cry

[-MAKAVELLI-]

i would hold public executions of Floyd fans instead of crappy undercard fights

[daggum]

1. less andre berto
2 through 5. everything else is secondary

[MARKBNLV]

People to care about the CW's there could be great fights if people gave a sht.

One commission overseeing boxing as a whole.

More fights on network and cable tv.

Crooked Judges for the most part in big fight's we have had the same crooked judges for 20 years plus.

3 Belt's no required mandatorys.

1) One belt each division= one champ each division.
2) No catch weights
3) get rid of gbp, top rank, etc and create a boxing league like the nfl for example. call it the wba, world boxing association. no more in house fights.
4) Must defend title within 6 months
5) all fighters be subjected to random urine and blood testing by the usada. no cutoff dates.
