    I really hate the alphabet titles.

    The sport would be so much better if their were 8 less weight classes with one belt per class.

    So do I, but I could live with the WBC and WBA as long as they were forced to adhere to more stringent rules.

    This idea is hardly original, but I really wish they would go back to one champ, and have a team of sports writers vote on the ranking system.

    Something like college football.

    I know, this is probably a pipe dream on my part, but I can still dream.

    It's a good idea and, who knows, maybe it will happen one day. I think the sanctioining bodies have become more marginalised anyway. The WBA's handling of their heavyweight title has been a total joke though.

    i wish the IBO would become more recognized and legit, they dont have mandatories and use a non-biased computer rankings.....

    everytime a guy who has an IBO strap fights the title is on the line....I always liked the IBO.

    110% agreed. They promised their mother. Close the thread.

    I agree that they will never fight, but still, reading these comments from Wlad is a tad intriguing:

    But Wladimir now tells us: "We are going to talk to our mother again because we know how much interest such a fight would create and it would mean that one of us would be the supreme heavyweight champion. Of course she would not be happy and if we did fight I would be very worried about the health of my brother because it would be very bloody and very bad. We are very competitive and it would be for real. There would be no fix."

    How much money would it take them to change their minds?

    :think

    The Klitschko's would sooner drop their belts in a trash can, than fight one another. I hope to hell someday it is mandated for them to fight one another, and they be put to the brink. But I'll comment on this silly notion, and say Wlad is the better boxer, while Vitali is the tougher, stronger, more iron willed one of the two. IF they actually made a fight out of it, rather than play patty cake with one another like they would do, Vitali would emurge the victor.

    I cant see it happening. They both have the power to kill each other. Not unless HBO, GBP, and King throw $100 million dollars at them and full HBO and Showtime coverage willl the fight ever happen.

    I'lll believe it when I see it basically
