          The 4 organizations running the belts. If I had to change ONE aspect of boxing, it would be that. One world title

              Robberies and protecting Champions. I have no problem with match selection when a fighter is developing but for me a champion should fight all challengers.

                  Would love to see boxing run as UFC.

                          The multitude of titles.....

                          One possibly two at the most would be ideal

                              In theory that's a great idea. In practice you could get a protected cash cow sitting on the title and great fighters never getting their shot.

                                  the way refs/judges ae selected. promoters should have no input of judges/referees.

                                  only 1 world champ.
