Answer 1

That's a good start, we do not need the jr and super divisions, It just add's confusing to the part time boxing fan and gives fighters an excuse to dodge other fighters saying that they cant make the 5 lb difference.

We also need to eliminate the titles, go with the Ring Magazine championship because over the last decade they have proved them selves to be un biased and have always shared my opinion on who the current champion's should be.

Also with Ring Magazine there money comes from the selling of their Magazine. They do not rely on sanctioning fee's and bribes to keep their company running like the current sanctioning bodies do.

In order for this to happen top fighters have to disregard their WBC and IBF ext titles. Follow Marco Antonio Bareeras lead and toss their titles away and only recognize the Ring Magazine belt. Props to Barerra for doing that.

As for Don King, he has not been necessarily bad for the sport, he has just been horrible for the fighters he has. He has put together some awesome fights that otherwise might not have been made.

But I do agree that instead of promotors there should be a league commision similar to baseball or football. I would like to see the Nevada State Athletic commision become the governing body over the sports rules and regulations,fines and penalties. Instead of paying fee's to the wbc,ibf,wba,wbo,wbo,ibu pay them to the Nevada state athletic commision.

And let ring divy out the titles and rankings.

Answer 2

i don't think we need to get rid of the "junior" divisions, just all the alphabet boys, and have one champ per division.
