    Yes, get rid of Tony "Testicle" Weeks and Byrd, also Lawrence Cole, Bob Bennett, Nevada boxing commission, the other criminal judges, limit a promoters influence, get rid of most belts, force the best to fight the best, make them earn their ranking, do not allow them to buy their ranking and belt..............create an international boxing commission that is monitored..............investigate home cooking decisions, make fighters weigh-in day of fight. Create something like the WBSS..................

    I think a revision of the weight classes and ring entrance weigh-ins would improve the sport/competition immensely. TBR rankings to be the standard or some evolution of it.

    I'd be an advocate of optional smaller gloves too, giving lighter weights more attention and KOs.

    Back in the very early day's of the UFC, Royce gracie, ken shamrock day's they used to have a WBSS style tournament but with every single fight in ONE night. Guy's would go out and fight 10-15 mins until one got ko'd or submitted then 45mins later come back and fight one of the other people who just won etc, They would fight multiple different people per night, it was epic stuff to watch, by the time they got to the final some of them had broken hands busted faces etc, it was beyond epic lol

    I would love to see something similar in boxing,mini tournament style, 3 x 4 rounders against different fighters on the same night, Quarter finals, semi's then finals, The same 12 total rounds, longer breaks in between each mini fight = guy's going at it hard every fight for every round. huge price money on the line.
