17 weight class's shortened down to 5 maybe 6 , would it help boxing in ur opinion?

The fans really need to start a ****ing championship organisation and start boycotting every other organisation - as in boycotting their fights.

=( too bad that will never happen.

I understand your point, and it's solid, but chances are that's never going to happen.What they should do is bring back 15 rds, if not just for unification, make these champs more responsible for fighting their contenders and if not, strip them, and get rid of all the excess organizations to the most 2 or 3.

I agree that there's no chance of there being only one world ruling body-- not in two lifetimes, if one takes a glance at how things are further shaping up in this respect where there is not only no semblance of an effort to unify the alphabets, there is even a "mushrooming" of them. But one can dream, can't one? It's free anyway.

The problem with merely stripping champs if they refuse to take on the legit contenders is that, with so many sanctioning bodies, all a stripped champ has to do is go and get another belt from some other organization.

Some journalists, I have noted, are distinguishing champions from alphabet ordained so-called champions. To them, a champion is one who has unified the belts of the three or four leading sanctioning organizations, while a so-called champion of only one organization is merely called a "world title holder." I don't know that it has done any good. I doubt it. Governing bodies don't really mind how and what their so-called champs are called, and how lacking in sheen their trinkets are. Nope, they don't seem to for as long as they get the fees.

The Zab-Baldomir case illustrates that one does not become a champ by winning; not always. One remains one even if one loses, subject to appropriate-- and that term is used *******ly here-- payment ( and, conversely, non-payment) of fees.

Be that as it may, Baldomir is also champ because he paid the, again, "appropriate" sanctioning fees of another organization. Again, it's the fees.

Thus, we are now in a silly situation where a fighter who convincingly won against a champ with three titles went home with one. Had Baldomir refused to also cough up the amount for WBC, he and the whole of boxing would have found itself in a sillier situation as Baldomir would have gone home bare-waisted, in spite of the abundance of belts, after a multi-organization title fight.

I'm not even sure that Baldomir was able to buy himself a Gucci, given that not much was left of his measly purse after paying WBC, his handlers and other expenses.

Your idea is crap........ NExT.....

Well not really, if u impelent this system then u will have guyz like marco antonio barrera (fighting at 135) against guyz like antonio margarito..... do u think thats fair to the smaller guy?(barrera?) or how about Cory spinks (fighting at 154) vs Joe Calzaghe? is that also fair? .... seriously it will **** up the boxing even more. you will than have smaller guyz avoiding huge guyz and everyone will label smaller boxers as Duckers or chickens or whatever..... thatss not fair.... do u really a think an excellent lightweight like Juan diaz will stand a chance against margarito? i dont think so......

It will be better for boxing and they should just one ruling body and two belts something like that because if the is a champ and there is a one champ.

for example you won see two NBA champions or World Cup champions in any other sport

I think it's a better idea to cut down on some of the belts than to cut down on the weight classes.
