    I do really hope this super 6 idea works. Boxing really needs to do something like this to spur interest. I want to see the best fighters fight.

    Constitution of proper sanctioning body:

    II.1 Uniform Control and Supervision of Boxing. To promote and obtain efficiency and harmony in the control and supervision of professional men's and women's boxing throughout the world.

    II.2 Encouragement of Boxing as Sport.

    II.3 Encouragement of Public Appreciation.

    II.4 Promotion of Clean, Fair and Equitable Competition. To keep professional boxing and all activities connected therewith, clean, fair and equitable to all parties concerned.

    II.5 Promotion of Boxing Safety. To make professional boxing as safe a sport as possible for boxers, and to promote their welfare.Endorsement, support and adoption of an International Boxers Traveling License including a yearly medical certificate and a boxer ID card to be carried by all boxers, which should contain their record of medical examinations and comments by the ringside physicians after every bout, as well as all additional information necessary for the strict supervision of the health and safety of travelling boxers throughout the world.

    II.6 Recognition of Champions.

    II.7 Certification and Recognition of Championship and Elimination Bouts. To certify and recognize championship bouts in each weight division for the WBC championship, provided that such bouts are held in compliance with this Constitution and the Rules and Regulations.

    II.8 Promotion of Competition in Boxing.

    II.9 Elimination of Discrimination in Boxing.

    II.10 Mediation to Resolve Controversies.

    There is allot of responsibility there and thats why I am against The Ring just cherry picking the duty of formulating a top ten which is the easy bit. They dont take responsibility for ensuring that standards in regards to safety and rules.

    This is why winning the Ring title does not make you a real world champion!!! This was my argument for why Calzaghe was never a two weight world champion.
