    I want more weight classes not less

    The more weight classes there are the more weight classes for us Brits to dominate

    There was never one belt per weight class.

    i think 9 weight classes would be fine. there is too much difference between light heavyweight and heavyweight fighters today. one belt per division is what boxing needs

    Too much short sided greed prevents this.

    Boxing needs a revamp to gain back some popularity. Perhaps going back to an understandable number of weight classes would help.

    But can't see anything radical like that ever happening.
