How to improve boxing (1 idea each)

All top ideas :good

My idea: Get rid of PPV's, more top class boxing on terrestial telly even if it's just highlights (technically that's two ideas but...).

 

Stick Rupert Murdoch behind bars and abolish Sky. TV problems solved!

 

Stricter rules on clinching.

 

All good suggestions.

I have a few.......

Scrap the Commonwealth title
Scrap the English title
One single world governing body, with independent regional bodies
Fewer weight divisions
One title in each weight division
All defences of all titles are mandatory - no voluntary

 

I honestly am not in favour of the 1 belt per division idea. I like the idea of unifying belts. But it should be limited only to the WBC/WBA/IBF & WBO. Get rid off all the other organizations, regional belts like the NABF are fine for me but not all this WBU/WBF/IBO/IBA/IBC bull**** where fighters claim they are world champions like Willie Limond & Ricky Hatton.

Just find something to make unifications more likely to happen. Also get rid of the Super Champion, Emeritus Champion, Regular Champion, Interim Champion, Champion In Recess rubbish, just 1 champion per belt which is the biggest problem, I mean the WBA have 3 champions in some weight classes.

 

Some people just can never play by the rules can they atsch

My ONE idea:

Do away with promoters (yes I know it is impossible) and have a "stable" so to speak where you have match organisers, promoters and one belt for that "stable" (kind of like how the UFC operates). This way the best fights can be made, no one can complain of ducking (well apart from some of the dicks on this forum) and there is always 1 clear champion of each weight. This could be seperated too, into an almost league system (ie you could have British, American, Mexican divisions etc. etc. and the top fighters go into a "World" division)

 

Yeah, I agree. I quite like the idea of unifiying a division. Howver I'd drop the WBO aswell and just go with WBC, WBA and IBF.

 

I hear you Tommy..... but as opposed to unifying titles, you would simply be taking on the #1 guy all the time rather than possible paper champions etc.

World title eliminators would actually be meaningful, rather than just a joke as they are now.

Same with British titles..... not trying to disparage any fighter but some of the British champions aren't up to much at all - nor are some EBU ones for that matter.

 

Have a transparent, independent body that regulates a single, established, recognized and legitimate ranking system in each weight class. Enforce that system so only worthy opponents get shots at the title.

 

Someone put a hit out on this person named 'Frank Warren' once his is out of the way things will improve alot. :yep

 

Less likely to be a draw, more interesting pace to a fight than in twelve rounders, more strategy required, force fighters to get into better condition.

 

bbbc should pick a body and not recognise any of the others. That'd stop all the wbo/wbu nonsense and increase the value of the brit, Euro and c'wealth titles

 

Terry Marsh allegedly failed :-(

 

They did that before. First they only recognised the WBC and not the WBA. Then they recognised the WBC and WBA but not the IBF. Then Warren threatened them with legal action or threatened to set up his own boxing body in the UK which would sanction IBF fights. Something like that (someone like Gaz ot TBooze will know more about this).

So the BBBofC backed down in the end.

 

Time for a rematch them methinks. Would Warren have actually been able to do that?
