People calling for a national comission to govern boxing

[BodiesInFlight]

What a stupid idea, that would never work. Boxing is a global sport and there is nothing wrong with it except for Floyd, Manny and Al Haymon.

Are you actually trying to say everything in the sport of boxing was rosy until those three turned up?

State commissions are almost certainly corrupt. Just look at the horrendous judging faux pas made. These cannot all be inept judging can they??
Yes it needs a National , or better still an International Boxing Commission, & I know the very man to head that commission. Teddy Atlas
OK we all know Teddy is eccentric at times & is prone to going on rampages but he truly LOVES the sport of boxing & would be honest to a fault.
Something needs to be done about the officiating . You don't have to be a boxing expert to see some of the judging & refereeing as blatantly corrupt.
Judges should be held accountable for their actions. When a very suspect card is produced the judge should be hauled before the commission & made to watch a tape & explain his scoring.
Fighters risk their lives every time they enter the ring & they should be able to rely on the system that a fair & just decision is rendered. That is just not the case today. They said boxing was corrupt in the 50's but its just as bad today if not worse. Its just done in a different way

A tape would show the fight from multiple angles. A judge only has one angle from their seat.

Boxing has never been rosy, but these days it is a blatant comedy at top level.
