Totaly dissagree there; if there was one champ, 1 ranking system and the commison told say the top 50 who they had to fight, people would be able to work thier way up, they would get thier shot.

there would be no more ducking people, i think people would get a fair shot.
Sounds good, but you have to eliminate too many entities to have that. The Don Kings and Oscars will pay too much money for that to happen. So will HBO and Showtime. All of the people associated with boxing that aren't fighters, run the show. It's all about money, and power. Who is the champ? Well that depends on who you ask. Boxing fans know who the champs are, or should be, but in the boxing world, whoever has the money, decides most of the time, who the champ is. Every now and then, we get an actuall championship fight, and thats only because one promoter, or network wants to steal some power from the other. But, there is hope. Tyson-Lewis was created by the fans, but the main reason it happened was because all the power players could still make money, and lots of it. I don't know how to fix things, but lately, there have been alot of good fights, pitting 2 of the top five in each division against each other. As far as having more than one belt, that can work, but there should only be 2, {an east and west conference or something}, not 5-7 belts.
