    It really seems to devalue being a champion. Only the best should be the champions; why do we need 4 champions? Why do we need diamond ''champions'' or ''super'' champions?

    The general public can't name many champions because of this cancer that is devaluing the purpose of being a champion.

    The only solution is unification and it's becoming increasingly difficult to do that. Kovalev and GGG are proof of that.

    Will there ever be another time where there's just ONE belt in each division?

    Why doesn't boxing have a regulator like Football has with FIFA?

    The lack of a real boxing commission is what is hurting boxing. Corruption will always exist, but one commission to oversee and to be held accountable is what boxing needs.

    What can be done to enforce a real boxing commission?

    It needs to be an International Organization with checks and balances and reps held accountable from the few major boxing countries, or it can be an American organization with Federal oversight.

    How could us, the fans get this going?

    Could we write a petition to congress? I've read that after a certain no. of signatures, congress HAS to look into it.
