Less weight classes would make things very interesting.No more running and ducking anybody anymore.Increase in KO's.

For me first and foremost make holding a foul that is as serious as headbutting and disqualify someone asap if they hold at any point during the bout. I don't care if it's round 1 and a guy is getting pounded , if he holds once a point will be taken again following the warning bout over by DQ. Holding makes the fight's boring and almost like UFC, we pay to see action not holding and stalling of the action. Second, less belts and make it manditory that champion's face each other reguardless of politic's between promoter's or sanctioning bodie's of boxing. If a champion wants to duck a fighter then he will be stripped of the title at once. If there are guys who want to fight for money only they can do it somewhere else and save us who apprieciate the belt's and traditional style of fighting the trouble of hearing them ***** about money and fight only safe fight's that present them with no challenege. Also , a restriction on retirement, a guy should only get maybe 2 or 3 time's to retire period...I can see one or two comebacks but Jesus we have guys with more retirements than comback wins. Longer fights , in some of these divison's the fighter's are so good and well matched that after 10 or 12 rounds they still seem fresh and in some cases neither fighter has sustained any damage, thus going back to a 15 round fight standard would be nice or maybe just having the fights go until there's either a ko or a clear winner NO DRAWS. Lastly, they should have a league type atmosphere like all the other major sports have with a comissioner and a board that looks after the fighters and matches them up and have a boxing superbowl type event once a year with all the great fight's in one Pay-Per-View that would generate billion's of dollars. IMO

Very good question.

How about changing the structure of money flow. No guaranteed purses. Winner gets 75%, loser gets 25% of the total money involve, including gate receipts and PPV sales.

BY doing this will remove the money issues and we will find out who's for real and who's just hype. Fighters who are not being supported by big networks will have a fair chance of making it big time. PROMOTIONAL HYPES will not be factor.

ONLY the real fighters will survive and will get recognition.
