I agree -- bad idea. But my biggest beef with boxing is the alphabet soup multiple "world titles" -- the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF. 17 divisions, 4 "champions" per division. Who can keep track of 68 title holders? And that's one of the reasons why boxing is losing popularity. Back in the old days there were 8 divisions and 1 champ per division. ....very easy to follow, and being a champion meant something. The crooked promoters have been the architects of boxing's demise.

I remember back in the 70's my father brought a convict down to Puerto Rico to fight for the NABF title and I thought North American Boxing Federation, what's that?
