Well Im going to give a contrary view. With only one belt, there would be a danger that the single champion could avoid the best fighters out there.

Looking back over the history books, how many gr8 fighters never got their chance to fight for the title? At least with the current system, if the path to one belt is blocked the better fighter can get a share of the title by fighting for an alternative belt.

In any one division, we all have an opinion who the best champion is, so its not critical to make it "official" by enforcing aa unification match to produce one champion.

However, this assumes that there is no way of enforcing a champion to fight the best fighters out there.

Currently, the rankings are very subective. An objective formula needs to be found to make them fairer.

More questions than answers in my post, but I doubt we will have any changes to teh boxing authorities any time soon!
