Old rules that should return?

Public TV for mainstream fights
15 rounds for championship fights
1 champ per division with one governing body to ensure the best face the best
10 lb max rehydration weight gain between weigh in and fight,

That would satisfy me

 

Pretty much all of them

 

Basically duplicate the mid to late 70's up to 83 in every way.

 

That's it! Says it all!!

This too...only throw the mid to late 60's in the hopper too Bob!

 

Bare knuckles, no round limits, fight until one guy can't walk to a stripe on the ground.

Malone and Silberbauer did 212 rounds.

What's wrong with these millenials?

 

Very good.... But a cynic would suggest, when were they ever the rules?!

 

Much as I miss the old school rules, many of them were changed for a good reason.

The safety of fighters should be our paramount concern, so the fifteen round distance for example, should remain in the history books.

 

Spot on.

And in twenty years time Janitor jr will be explaining why 12 rounders are rightly a thing of the past and in due course 10 rounders will be replaced with eight.

 

Less belts, less divisions, better match making, better judging.

 

Leniency in infighting for me. And 2 belts.

Same day weigh ins are too tricky to change back to. What should happen is like the MMA org One FC, where fighters hydration levels are monitored in the week to the fight. If the fighter tests dehydrated, the fight is cancelled. Basically all fighters fight around their 'natural' trained weights.

 

Since when has boxing been about safety??? Let a man fight his heart out

 

Easier to say that when watching from the sidelines on a screen, but I agree fighters should be given every (good) chance to prove themselves. They signed up for it. In fact, corners should get more scrutiny about this than fighters.

 

No person should have a say over what a man, nay warrior does with his life. If he wants to quit he should be allowed, but if he wants to fight on to try for a spectacular comeback knockout or simply to have the honor of being taken out.

That's just my moral on the subject anyways. Boxing has always been a dangerous game, that's what makes it the greatest sport, it transcends beyond sport and represents real life, boxing at it's heart is man's innate desire to fight

Many forget the boxing glove was invented to protect your hand so you could punch more, not to soften blows.
