Would it really ruin boxing if they just made one belt per division?

[Battle*Hardened]

It would be great. Also have 1 regional and 1 national champ as well. They way you could market for the bet guy in the region and the best guy in the nation, and then 2 nations going at each other etc...

I dont think so There are too many fighters too be waiting for their one shot at the title, and if they lose they fall all the way back in the contendership line. The belts would hold WAY more value but I think their are just too many fighters in a division to be waiting and waiting for the one belt shot.

we have fewer fighters today than in the 30's-40's and boxing may have never thrived as much.

If this happened you might actually find guys willing to fight tough competition in order to even be considered for a title shot. Possibly even a rejuvenation in the club and arena shows

Boxing loses just a little more integrity with each new organization. Instead of running around like the nfl, everybody working together, they run around like the WWF.......Rockin'

Having 5+ belts per division makes having a belt meaningless. It's also ****** ridiculous to follow whose the current champion.

who cares about them? do we really need every fighter to be groomed into a star? the best should fight the best. most of these frauds would never be good enough to even earn a title shot. having 1 belt would separate the pretenders from the real deals. the other guys would have to fight each other to earn a shot and the champ would fight the best available challenger. makes perfect sense to me. that's the problem with boxing. everyone thinks they deserve to be world champ just for simply showing up or being popular.

The corruption would be 10x worse.

Yea totally who cares about the boxers... IF you want a belt you need to be undefeated PERIOD.....you realize if a fighter lost he would have to fight 5 or 6 times to get his "spot" back in line(DEPENDING ON ACTIVE FIGHTERS IN THE DIVISION). That's 2-3 years later, chances are you would have a different champion, and the fighter wouldn't be as good as he was 2-3 years ago and he would never get his title shot. Do you know how many fighters would fall into this loop? ALL OF THEM except the undefeated fighters... Mayweather Calzaghe Valero Marciano and Chavez JR would be our ATG
