Also, I'm sick of having to sit through national anthems all the time. If people want to listen the the national anthem, they can have it on a loop in their own homes. Sometimes i feel like I'm being force fed the national anthem. I'm English, the anthem means nothing to me at all, but it means something to others, I don't mind, it does not belong in boxing imo. And like I said, people can listen to the anthem at home any time they want if it means so much to them.
      Boxing is tribal and most champions are NOT American despite fighting IN America. So they make a point of representing their people in a foreign country (America).

        Has to be one belt per weight for me..

        You wanna be the proper champion, no questions asked, no arguments..

        Fight for one belt and rid the word "ducking" from the boxing dictionary...

          Now there’s pressure on fighters to fight the best in their division ASAP.

          You beat the best guys to earn the respect of being champ
          The current set up and number of boxers nowadays wouldn’t allow it .One belt per weight class you would see limited number of top guys fighting for a title shot and the wait period for watching a title on the line would be torture in today’s short attention spans fans suffer from .

          If it’s to many belts now they would just say it’s not enough of them to have more title fights if your wish came true .

            I believe it’s always a waste of time in any sport that ends in a draw ,it’s pointless really in combat sports .

            I’d say a final round should be initiated in an event there is a draw to decide a winner , a last round of 2 minutes where a winner must be determined by the judges if no stoppage occurred.

              I like that if scored a draw fight another round.

                    1 champ per class = no more meaningless mandatories against random euros

                    This 1 adjustment changes boxing entirely. Crawford would have fought somebody already. Spence/manny/Thurman would have mixed it up with each other

                    Everyone fights each other quickly for the top contender spot and their shot to dethrone the champ

                      Either give some clarity to the "no holding" rule or take it off the books.
                      When every ref gets to interpret the rule any way he wants, what usually happens is a "name" fighter is allowed more leeway than a fighter who is not as well known.
