    The commisioning/sanctioning bodies only have the amount of power the boxers are willing to give them.

    If boxers go on strike and stop boxing then you have no comissioning bodies and the whole sport folds.

    Marco Antonio Barrera had the right idea by not paying sanctioning fees on his titles and that's why he kept losing them out side the ring. If all fighters did that we could get rid of all these champions and get back to the good old days when there was one recognised champ per weight division.

    All commisioning bodies care about is money. Not the sport. For example Nevada won't do anything to jepodise all the big fights coming to vegas.

    By refusing to do things or insisting to do things boxers can change the sport for the better. They probably don't realise this.

    Pac has more clout than most at the moment because he is the the biggest revenue generator.
    We are now going into the dirty politics behind boxing. And you are now blaming all the boxers but putting most of the responsibility on Pacquaio.

    Do you really expect them to go on strike? Do you think if Pacquiao calls on the boxers to go on strike to clean up the sport that they would all listen? I don't think he can even convince his own countrymen to do this. They would just tell him that it's easy for him to say this because he had already earned millions.

    Boxing is not like some team sports (basketball, football, baseball) where they can easily unite and have a single voice since they have union representatives. Boxing is an individual sport and one boxer can not speak for the rest.
    Yes we are going into the dirty polloticks

    Nope I'm not blaming the boxers
    If your statement that "If the boxers didn't fight for all these silly titles we wouldn't have all the ludicrous sanctioning bodies." isn't blaming them, then what is it?

    And nope I'm not lumping it all on pacquiao. You're back in pactard territory, taking what I'm saying out of context and to rediculous extremes.
    Another statement of yours: "Pac has more clout than most at the moment because he is the the biggest revenue generator." That's putting more responsibilities on Manny, and I didn't say "all".

    As I said in my post (me repeating things for you again!?) '....boxers can change the sport for the better. They probably don't realise this.'

    Boxers can change the sport. But first they must realise they can and then they have to decide if they want to or not.
    And how do you think the boxers will be able to decide to change the sports? Go to a big boxer conference/meeting and come up with a solitary position on how to change the sport, then put it into action as a collective?.
    What you are insinuating is easier said than done.
