    Old school dedication to the craft.
    6 oz gloves
    Eddie Futch
    Fight announcers that don't suck. (There are a few decent modern ones, but most are crap).
    Afro's - on black, hispanic, and white fighters. (No idea why, I just always thought they looked cool in the ring, lol)
    Ring card girls with real boobs.
    Fighters that meant it when they said "Anyone, anytime".

    winners get the bigger share and not the one who is more popular

    smaller gloves for more knock outs.
    and please dont say the gloves are to protect the hands and the punch isnt cusioned in any way because that is bull****.

    Low blows mean BELOW the belt or belt line and not some spot the ref points to a half-minute before the fight starts.

    Boxing on 'free' TV

    One champ per division

    1) One world title, for all the marbles.

    2) 15 round fights.

    3)The announcer saying the boxers' last name twice....(And in the other corner, Sugar, Ray, Robinson...Robinson)

    Not having to go back to the neutral corner would be nice. You'd see a lot more knockouts and a lot fewer long-term beatdowns that way.

    So you want it recited as a poem rather than sang with music?

    One world champ per division.

    !5 rounders. Imagine if Leonard-Hearns1 was only a 12 rounder.
