    You make a hell of a lot of threads.

    The worst thing that I can remember, is all the organisations having seperate belts and taking the prestige away from the term 'World Champion' to the point where mediocre boxers can claim to have been champion of the world.

    No, 12 round is fine by me, as it helps keep the fighters that little bit safer.

    Not allowing the WBA to have any more world titles.

    It's not fair on some of these fighters outside the top 20, some of them won't ever get to fight for a world title.
