You're right. Margarito went up to 154 and lost against Santos (a close headbutt TD), then came back to his 147 title.

I don't know if that would be good for boxing, because one person would be bottlenecked at the top. All I am saying is, the sanctioning bodies would find a way to strip all of the belts so they could get multiple fees.
