    You'd have to find a way to make fights a lot safer.

          stop recognizing the WBO & IBF, which were created out of thin air in the 80s.

          stop recognizing the WBA, which chose to start crowning 3 world champions in every division.

          which leaves the WBC, which traces back to the NYSAC & IBU titles, making it the real title all along anyway.


          problem solved.

            If boxing had a central sanctioning body like tennis, none of us would know who Manny Pacquiao is unless we could remember 18th ranked clay guys from 2006

              The downfall in your plan is that tennis has no weight divisions
