    not 17 or whatever it is now and not this Jr or super crap.

    the divisions:

    HW over 200
    cruiser 190
    LHW 175
    MW 160
    WW 147
    LW 135
    FW 126
    Bantamweight 118
    Flyweight 112
    minimumweight 105


    would eliminate multi title champs who gain like 2 lbs at lower weights..

    Many people would too. And ONE title per division. That way there is no bogus titleholders like there are today.

    With one title per division I wouldnt even mind the 17 divisions honestly.
    Hell at this point I would be happy even if we had 17 divisions and 4 belts per divisions but no diamond,silver,super,interim bull**** and boxers not being stripped and ranking being fair.

    Agreed. It is just wrong. Titles mean nothing nowadays.

    As mentioned, 1 champion in each weightclass is the main thing that we'd all have in an ideal world.

    This way people can identifiy with the 'World Champion' once again.

    One world title per weight is the big issue IMHO. Cutting down on weight divisions is way down the list from that.

    TS said Heavy starts at 200+ and Cruiser at 190 so between 190-199lbs.

    No, in that list the weight limit for cruiser is 190. There is no weight division for 191-199lbs so they'd have to be HWs which is too low IMHO.
     
  14. The problem with one title and 10 divisions is that you might have one guy (who is the man) who loves going on breaks, fights intermittently, and calls the shots. A fighter meant never have the chance or time to become Top Dog.

    That's why there's unification. Moves things along a lot quicker. Plus it adds prestige because then boxing can call it a Championship fight.

    I guess as a defence for multiple world titles thats the best of a very bad bunch.
