Same day weigh-ins, 15 rounds or less weight classes?

If you could bring back one of these, which would you choose, if you could just pick one.....

Why would you choose it, and how would you implement it?

By that I mean....

For weigh-ins would you introduce more check weigh-ins, or a maximum in-ring weight....

For weight classes would you change any of the limits, if so, which?

15 rounds is pretty simple of course.

:good

 

id limit the number of alphabet titles to 3 (WBC, WBO and a collection of other organisations into one belt)

bring back value to being a champion. Out of all 3belts my fave looking is WBO, proper reem

 

Less weight classes AND same day weigh ins, they go hand-in-hand IMO :good

 

15 rounds...

Is it just me or are the amount of fights scheduled for 12 rounds actually reaching the final bell steadily increasing? I, of course, don't want to see fighters safety placed at risk but if the notion of 3 extra rounds gain medical support, or at least not attract medical concern, then that should be a priority.

 

Weight classes no doubt, limit them to about 12 max.

2nd choice would be 15 rounders but less weight classes would deepen the talent pool in divisions and allow for better matchups. Also, it'd make weight jumping harder.

 

I've gone for weight classes.

I'd drop back to ten.

105
112
118
126
135
147
160
175
190
190+

 

deal:deal

 

That's be lovely.

Imagine LHW with Froch, Ward, Bute, Kessler along with Pascal, Hopkins, Dawson...

Or Khan, Bradley, Alexander, Maidana, Cotto all at 147. Even with 4 titles you'd have to be bloody good to pick up a belt.

 

Possibly lose belts and have a one world sanction or 15 rounds.

The one thing I want to change the most is this protective nature over athletes. I get they punch eachother in the head for money and they do a lot of damage and some die, but stop overprotecting them, man. It happens mostly in the UK, fights just stopped so ****ing soon and it goes down as a KO. A KO has no value to it anymore.

And I'd make all gloves one weight or whatever. I don't understand why there is different weight gloves out there, seems a bit too picky for my liking.

 

Decrease the number of WBA World titles to 3 per weight division.

 

:rofl

 

4 oz gloves :yep

 

I'd copy the Olympic structure, but ya I'd go for the reduced weight classes as well. There's still a lot of talent out there, but it's spread around too much.

Of course the main thing would be to only have 1 recognized world champion in each division. 1 world champion and a reduced number of division and it'd be a hell of a sport.

 

I would change the weight classes.

Grouping the likes of Bantam & Super Bantam, Feather & Super Feather, Jr Welter & Welter, Jr Middle & Middle, Super Middle and Light Heavy. I'd leave the Cruiser and heavy as is....

Basically there should be no more than 10 weight classes...
