I've been at Disneyland for the last 4 days and have heard no boxing news whatsoever, so when I read the title of this thread I was surprised but very happy indeed. Only to read through and be disappointed by the news that it is not really true.

Sulaiman is one of the worst men involved in boxing right now if not the worst and the sooner he is gone the better. But one question comes to my mind quite regular! Could boxing ever truly survive or recover to it's former greatness without sanctioning bodies? I'm sad to say I doubt it!! The top dogs (i.e. Mayweather) are too greedy let boxing be run by organisations like the UFC in MMA as he would get paid less due to his undercard being far more stacked and without the top men of the sport any such organisation would never hold any true legitimacy!

In an ideal world the best way forward would be for the 4 major bodies IBF, WBA, WBO and WBC all to merge as one business and have each champion fight one another until each division has one true champion, but with boxing politics the way it is that would be highly unlikely to happen, in the near future anyway. So the only other way for now is to leave it in the hands of the boxers and their promoters to try and unify a division, BUT if one boxer did hold all 4 titles he would then have 4 mandatory challengers a year in theory and that too would be almost impossible to see happening. These organisations have made boxing confusing and are the main reason for some of the top fights not happening. Something needs to be done soon for the sake of boxing, I just don't know what!!
