Univesal Title - 1 Weight 1 Champion

I just recently read a statement from Suleiman that he actually opposes unification

of course having a tournament of champions would be awesome. But there isn't always a champion for every belt in every weight class.

 

that would be a fight fans delight if that would happen. there would be less paper champions and having only one belt would actually mean something. but of course it won't, as their would be money lost from the other organizations that aren't part of the big 3, the wbc, wba, and ibf. awesome avatar javier :good

 

This topic always comes up, but the reality is in a few years time we'll be adding the IBO to the "prestigious" titles list as opposed to being closer to having 1 champ per division.

 

Yep.

 

Agreed.

 

The sooner we drop the joke WBA/O the better

 

They're all jokes, that's the problem. Not one of the abc bodies can justify their rankings in any of their 17 divisions. Stupid undeserving mandatories get made and fighters are unfairly stripped of their titles. Ridiculous, illogical and corrupt carry-on altogether.

 

Suleiman is a piece of **** and its ridiculous that he's been in control of the WBC for so long

 

To be honest I don't think you're looking at the problem the in the right way.
These alphabet orgs are not going to cooperate in that way. Say for instance that you in fact get your unified champion, as soon as he has to defend against a Don King promoted fighter and doesn't want to sell a piece of himself to King, there goes his wba title and now you're back to having two champions. Next the wbo give him someone nobody's ever heard of as a mandatory, HBO won't televise the fight so it doesn't go ahead, he fights someone else, is stripped, now you've got three champions.

IMO the only solution to the problem is to reduce the number of titles, not to find novel ways to unify them. The only way I can see this happening is if the NYSAC and the NVSAC only regognise one title and agree which one it is. I think that would pretty much sort the problem out in the US and everybody else would fall into line.
The wba has made itself a joke, the wbo was a joke to start with and still is, the ibf and wbc are ok in my book. So choose one of them.

 

All the corrupt ****s die and people who give a **** about the sport are put in charge.

 

Or someone like GBP starts on a campaign to get the best boxers/trainers on their team and start selling it to the public by putting up big money and lots of advertising like the UFC, and maybe over a few years enough good boxers move over and the public starts to ignore the alphabet organizations to watch "exciting" boxing where The Ring belt is considered the best out there. It's a pipe dream, but the only one I can think of.
