Yea out of the 2 listed I would agree with 1 Championship per division. I don't think it's necessary to drop all the way back to 8 divisions but a few could definitely go.

They live, We sleep
We have so many weight classes it’s ridiculous. Where does it stop? It becomes diluted. I’m imagining welterweight if you added guys like Taylor, Prograis, and Ramirez. How good would that weight class be? Even with more than one belt, there would be fights that wouldn’t be made if we kept the weight classes intact and just had one title per weight class.
The main reason to have one title is so that no one can duck the obvious top guy in the division because multiple people now can claim they are the champion. That would be great. Having less weight classes make many more good potential match ups.
I'm not convinced it would make a huge difference, but one title per division would be the better one. Boxing is a shady business, I don't know how much all these trinkets really have to do with it these days as opposed to other things. More weight classes is almost a non issue for me though. If anything more weight classes just creates more even/safe fights overall, I'm often cool with catchweights and weight hopping for the same reason. If any fighter is confident enough, there is nothing to stop them from weighing an extra half pound and fighting at the next class up. If they can't compete against fighters that size, that's exactly the reason you need the weight classes what they are.
