Then Publish a top 10 every quarter, rating the top 25 for each division, from the Press. The Champion must then make two defences in any 18 month period against a top 15 fighter, one of which must be the #1 contender, who's #1 rating will remain in place unless he loses a fight before gaining a World Championship fight.
I'd go with that. The US government was going to impose their own commision for fights in the US, to eliminate drug{steroids} problems, and contraversial decisions, but hasn't yet. I can't say if it would be good or not. But, I do agree that there should be one universal sanctioning body. If that was to happen, then fighters would be forced to work their way up, but it may take years, and certain fighters may pass their prime. I'd be happy with two sanctioning bodies, that constantly had a unification as a mandatory. That would give more fighters a chance, but limit non-deserving fighters from getting a title shot.
