Make one change...

Make the view for fans better. No TV camera men covering your view of the boxers. Transparent ropes.

Hell, I would have the ring low so that it can be seen by everyone.

I'd go with this

Some great suggestions so far. I agree that judging needs serious reform—scorecards in close fights are often all over the place. Increasing the number of judges could help, but accountability is key. Commissions should be responsible for selecting, paying, and disciplining judges, removing those with bad scorecards from high-level fights and putting them on lower-tier bouts as probation.

This ties into Primo Carnera's point—boxing desperately needs one strict, independent governing body with no corruption or political ties. It should oversee everything from pro to amateur boxing, enforcing consistent rules for PEDs, missed weights, and poor judging.

Another issue is exclusive promoter and network deals, which only cause division. Fighters should operate on a fight-by-fight basis, allowing the best matchups to happen without business politics getting in the way.

But if I had to pick one instant change to improve boxing? Bring back same-day weigh-ins. Fighters would be forced to compete closer to their natural weight, cutting down on extreme weight cuts and the size mismatches they create. Strict penalties for missing weight would be necessary, but it could also streamline divisions by eliminating unnecessary junior weight classes.

Same day weigh-ins is a damn good one.

Let's stop the charade of having a guy gain 20+ pounds from the time of the weigh-in to the night of the fight. This is all to gain an unfair advantage, when boxing is supposed to be designed so that guys fight other guys of equal size. Some well-known fighters have made a career of this nonsense, and when they are forced to fight someone their same size, they fail miserably.

I'm against ANYTHING that gives a fighter a leg up before the fight even starts.

Definite needed move is a unified commission in the Stats just for starters. Not sure how unified rules would be held up globally but as sport the commission-to-commission protocols should not be malleable and arbitrary. There are literally States who "borrow" commissions. One dead set rule set across the board. Smaller pet peeve but all judges need to be ring center and introduced exactly as the referee is. Put a face on the officials. HBO had a good run with it but today not so much. Instant replay needs to be a given also and automatic for KD's, cuts and other calls. The networks have everything to do with that as we've seen. And we need to bring Tecate and Top Rank girls back. "unofficial" fight night weight shaming needs to be a thing again. Bring back unofficial weights blasted out calling out the fatties. And no fighter should fight for a title unless fighting said division prior. Seems basic, but a fighter should have to wear the weight at least once before a title shot. The only wonder I have with same day weigh ins are that they have now made them their own pre fight event. Platforms hold full events for a press cycle. And whole generations have trained themselves to work weight or rehydration likewise. It would take some doing.
