People calling for a national comission to govern boxing

[CJRock]

Teddy would stop the corruption . I'm sure he knows enough honest men that love the sport to assist him. Something has to be done that's for sure.
Today we all know if we're honest that if Floyd did fight Manny in Vegas & both are standing at the final bell Floyd would get the decision regardless.
This is just not right. The best man on the night should get the win not the homie

... make it socialist -- and you'll see true corruption then...

The overwhelming majority of big fights still happen in the US. Despite the global nature of the sport, a national governing commission would still have huge influence.

Boxing will never fix itself. Without external pressure, nothing will change. Anyone who tries to change the sport for the better will have some some other crook undercut them.

It's just a cry by people who think through emotions and need to express themselves. There's exactly zero evidence to show that a national commission would improve the state of boxing.

As long as people decide who wins you're always going to see cards you disagree with because people can't be completely neutral.

If the purpose is to regulate the sport, than one could only assume it would be far less corrupt than it is now.

And supposed governing bodies pretty much condone cheating, by letting Peterson off the hook. Boxing seriously needs regulations.

Too many obvious PED cheating, with old men, and obviously roided out fighters.

If it takes an American organisation to lead the way, or even regulate all big time boxing, since most of it happens in the US anyway, its still good for the sport.

I'm not sure if this is the answer but things definitely need to be improved

When there are two fighters than speak different languages, there needs to be a bi-lingual ref

[JimEarl]

It might not guarantee no corruption but it would lessen it if only it were possible.......unfortunately I see little possibility in implementing such a plan at this point in history. Boxing is the only sport without a single policing organization. With several sanctioning bodies and competing promoters with their own agendas you'd never get everybody on board for any number of reasons, not the least being regulating PED controls which is hard enough in pro cycling which has only one sanctioning body with a recent history of corruption.

It would take an act of congress and I hope they aren't talking about any congressional involvement. There's too much "special interest influence" in congress already, lol.

I must say I love you guys optimism and hope for the future.

Surely its worth a try ?

Whats the point of getting out of bed for most of you ?

It's impossible. You will have one corruot governing body instead of 4. Which would be worse.
