We need:

One official ring size.
One official glove type and glove weight. (Might be different per weight class but not per fight)
One official fight length. Why should it be 4 or 6 or 10 or 12. Does baseball have less innings in the regular season than in the World Series? No. You know who plays less innings...little leaguers. You are professionals, fight a professional length.
For goodness sake One sanctioning body and ONE BELT per weightclass.

Here is another thing I would do. Every four years I would have the top 4 of each weight fight in a tournament for the Title. This might be a bit radical but it would be great. If you count all the weight classes and schedule them so they happen at different times imagine how many great fights we would have every year.

Soccer fields as the yanks would call it have varying sizes as do cricket grounds. Maybe when little boxers are boxing they could have smaller rings say 12ft by 12ft
