    I want all fighters and promoters to do away with them. They are all corrupt. I know they can help a fighter get a fight who would not ordinarily get one but over all they do far more bad than good. I know in their absence there would be some chaos and they regulate judging and matches, but at this point, I would just rather have total chaos than the corruption we have now.
    Judges get it wrong so much anyways, there is so much corruption now, I would rather just have everything torn down.

    Maybe an AP Poll and a Coaches (Trainers) Poll would be something that would be more interesting, like College football. It does'nt matter. No rankings are no belts and no champions is the same thing as 400 belts and 400 champions, its all meaningless nonsense.

    If we could just get rid of them completely it would help clear up the picture. Specifically, if fighters stopped paying them, that would be great. They would die off.

    Then we could have something decent rise from the ashes.

    The Ring is far from perfect, and now owned by Golden Boy, but its better than the orgs.

    I think ultimately what is killing boxing is corruption, bad judging bad decisions bad refs, bad marketing, bad promoters and bad and no promoting. Everyone wants the quickets biggest most immediate dollar and to hell with intergrity and longevity, let someone else worry about that.

    We need a new paradigm. Rather than titles and stripping of titles, when just as often as not, guys get stripped for the wrong reason.
