Let's Talk About The Belts Situation and How It Can Be Fixed

[Willy Wanker]

But why keep the sanctioning bodies? What pupose they serve?

and lol at you wanting to keep the WBC and WBA wich are the 2 worst, more corrupt sanctionng bodies.

wbc and wba make moves that raise eyebrows, but the ibf is just as ridiculous. i remember when malignaggi got stripped before fighting hatton, and then urango and ngoudjo (2 guys that malignaggi and hatton beat) fought for the vacant title.

bwahahahahahah!!!!!!

the wbo isn't perfect, but they are the less of 4 evils.

It's not going to happen, but I think it would be a start if once champions actually become recoginzed, they stay in the division and defend. It makes the division have an established champion with multiple title defenses.

Look at Bradley-Khan. That's probably for the lineal 140 title. Instead of them defending it, they will probably move up to 140 instead of defending it because they worked hard to get there. Now most of them dont want to work hard to keep it and move up to find bigger paydays.

The purpose to keep is for the other fighters. Some fights only happen is because people want to unify. If a lesser known fighter who is not popular doesn't have a sanctioned belt. He may never get the recognition he probably deserves.

And, if you have 1 belt per sanctioning body. The corruption would be less no?

Well if we have one world recognize commision who sought to the Ranks and rank them by records and how you win and who you beat, fighters will be obligated to fighter each other to be a champ and for the big money.

Oh, I agree they all suck, but the WBC and WBa takes it to another level

But, don't you think the problem with having just 1 champ/1 belt is that the fighters don't fight as often?

No. Why would that be? If they have a good rankings system in wich you have to have a certain amount of wins and a certain spot to fight for a belt, they will have to keep fighting. and for a champ make him to have certain amounts of defenses to eve move up to fight for another divisions title.

Unfortunately it cant be fixed. Fighters want the titles for recognition and bigger paydays, bigger paydays equal more money for the sanctioning bodies. sanctioning bodies are in business to make money, so they create more titles. They found an additional revenue stream, there is no way in hell they are going to cut it off.

I think the networks (Showtime, hbo etc) can research all of the sanctioning bodies and the one with the best reputation they can recognize, while ignoring all of the others.

and thats where a unilateral commisions comes to play. Just pull a page from the MLB, NLF and NBA book

How are you going to force a fighter to fight often?

A fighter would not be forced to fight when he doesn't want to.

In the era we live in champions would only fight once or twice a year. If we're lucky we might get 3 times a year(but is rare). That it means it could take a deserving contender years after he's ready to get a title shot.

This is not like the old times where fights champs fought 6, 7, or more a year. If champions would be fighting as often as the old times. Then OK, I can see it because more so than not a lot of fighters would get their deserved opportunity.

However, if you just fighting once or twice a year. There would be a lot of fighters who deserves the opportunity not get it because fighters now only fight once or twice a year.

Thats simple **** dude, either defend this many times a year or get stripped and drop in the ranking. Simple as that.
