[QUOTE=rjj tszyu;915054] 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[QUOTE]

I totally agree with this, it would make boxing credible and understandable to the casual sports fan. At the moment being a champion carries little weight compared to the days when there were just one or two belts.

As you say it will probably never happen but if Boxing is to survive it needs to pull in more interest around the world than it is doing at the moment. Yes certain weight divisions are strong, but Natural athletes especially those who could fight in the heavyweight division. Are already going to other sports because they can make more money and go through less pain than to go near Boxing.
It also annoys and sickens me when the belt holders duck each other, I remember at the start of 2010 discussing with my friends (who know the basics of the boxing world) the two big fights that could happen between Haye and the Klitchko's, Maywhether and Pac. Neither have happened and it just makes boxing more farcical in their eyes than ever.

In my opinion a shakeup needs to happen in the next few years before the sport goes beyond the point of no return.
