    If you had the authority what would you change about boxing?

    There are to many weight classes, get rid of all these weight classes. There are to many belts, the sanctioning bodies are ridiculous, just have one legitimate champion in each weight class, the WBC has historically been the most significant belt so imo it should stay that way. These corrupt promoters hold too much power in boxing, find a way to loosen their control on the sport. More stringent drug testing would be nice as well. What do yall say?

        I would get rid of Bob Arum first. And then get rid of all the other ******ed promoters. And then make the purses only available to the winner. Winner takes all.

          One sanctioning organization and one world title per weight class.

          They can still have all the intercontinental and regional titles, but there should be just ONE world title per weight division.

          And there should be an eight-fighter eliminator each year to determine the mandatory for each division.

            About weight classes, from straweight to jr. middleweight, it will be 10 pounds before each division. From middleweight to cruiserweight, 12-15 before each divison. I would like to make heavyweight from 200-230 pounds then above that is super heavyweight division.

                Boxing needs video replays.

                Every other sport in the world has introduced video replays.

                This would solve any incorrect knockdowns ruled as slips or cuts from punches or butts.

                Simple really.

                    id get rid of "super" divisions and "diamond" belts and pretty much have an elimination tournament in every division every year to determine who gets a title shot, which happens, for the title, even if the reigning title holder refuses to be part of it

                    nothing new really, same stuff everyone has wanted for years but never happens

                    from a financial standpoint id also change the name of heavyweight to superheavyweight or openweight and call cruiserweight "heavyweight"

                    boxing fans are a ****** bunch and whine a lot about how heavyweight champions are too gigantic to identify with nowadays, but the same guys cant name a LHW or CW champion,because they don't watch those divisions, even though those guys are the size of the "golden era" HWs.

                    If we simply started calling those heavyweights theyd become big names
