I think it should definetly stay in the hands of the ref. As long as we are prepared for them to sometimes make mistakes, and accept that that is just boxing, then I think it would stay a more enjoyable sport..

But if we truely wanted boxing to return to Glory, I think having only one belt would do just that..... I mean, boxing needs to appeal to the general public as well, and they can't follow 3 or 4 champs.... One belt, one world champion in each weight division. Throw them ALL into the one pot and work your way to the top of that division by having to fight THE best....
It would make boxing so much more explosive....

But it's about diversifying these days, and I suppose for the actual fighters, it's a much better industry now with all the belts/organizations, and opportunity to have more money earning fights... How it is now is definetly good for the fighters, but it takes a bit away from boxing/sports fans..
You make it sound as though every fight is full of contraversy and that is not the case but KillerSheep gave a perfect example of a fight in which the instant replay would have helped solve the situation and corrected the human error.
It's not easy to follow the sport and takes way too much time to follow all of the divisions and that is why I dont watch the fat azzes for example. I try to narrow down watching fights in divisions such as super featherweight thru super middleweight and even then I have a difficult time keeping track of the sport. I am accused of only knowing Cotto and Mora and that is ok by me

Don't get me wrong, I have all of the classic fights of a great era of Ali, Holmes, Smokin Joe etc.. I stopped watching the fat boys during the Tyson era. I hated Tyson and I guess I still do. Have not payed attention to the fatboy division since he came in. Right now, the heavy weight division stinks So I ain't missing anything anyway and would much rather watch something else. (Oooppps I was put to sleep by Vladimir Clitoris last month, don't know why I was watching )
