    1: I'd get rid of about 4-5 weight classes

    2: 15 rounds

    3: One governing body.

    Watch Johnny Nelson/Carlos De Leon and tell me another three rounds would be good for boxing :D The Entertainer? My arse.

    I'd choose to have one belt. I think most of the problems are connected to multiple organisations. The matchmaking would be better, oviously, there would be less corruption, one champion. It'd be better for boxing than anything else, I think.

    it would be either one of the following:

    1. one champ per weight class
    2. one comission to oversee everything and make the fights everyone want to see (therefore losses would'nt mean that much)
    3. no promoters
    4. fifteen rounds
    5. more stringent medicals
    6. no more ppv's. boxing should go back to prime time like in the past.
    7. change in the scoring system

    15 rounds!!!!! then there wouldnt be as many fat ass Heavyweights and a runner like PBF would pay for his **** in the later rounds. 12 rounds stacks the odds in favor of the runner/ slapper its ruining boxing and boring the hellout of fans, this points game has to stop.

    I dont mind all the weight divsions. I think one champion per weight class would be the best by far.

    one belt per division above all else, that way all the elite fighters are forced to fight each other if they want to be called champion.

    I would make the best fight against each other. So, basically one belt would probably solve that.
