Comments Thread For: BoxingScene Roundtable: How can boxing make improvements that start in 2025?

[Bull Pit]

Boxing could do well by letting the Sheikh take control .

Wishlist:

Disciplinary rules and actions for bad judges.

Some kind of camera standards so I don't have to watch a fight looking down from the ceiling or over a judge's shoulder.

No more venues that are barely lit or lit with ****** bright red or uv lights.

Get rid of two belts.

Drop people in rankings who don't fight in 9 months.

Remove people from rankings who don't fight for a whole year. Then they have to work back up. Then we'll see how many fighters stay inactive.

Top 10 fighters have to fight top 10 fighters in order for the fight to count for rankings and activity.

Top 10 fighters who turn down fights with other top 10 fighters drop in rankings to #11.

Gotta get tough.

Boxing is dead, period. uFC destroy boxing and the Mayweather practice of selecting mediocre tipe opponents

Boxing isn't dead because of Turkish & his billions. But it needs killing off & rebuilt using a ufc model. No more participation world title belts.

Apparently Dana is starting a boxing promotion with Turki who told Dana he is fed up with the entitled to promoters leaching the sport.

Hope so.

Step 1, buy the ring ****zine with a genuine belt & ranking system.

I'm a big MMA fan, but this past couple of years boxing has jumped ahead of it by a bigger margin than at any point in the last 15+ years tbh. Not really the time to pull the ol "UFC is taking over" card imo.

F off the domestic fights from Saudi, bring the sport back to the fans backyards. Would love to see big **** fight in Chinatown

Yet here you are , on a dead sports site instead of on a UFC site. Why ?

Go apologize to your English teachers.

I like those ideas.

1. Worsell, by far. One hundred percent
2. Lewis
3. Ketelle

That is a brilliant list. If we are wishing, I would add one more thing.

Every year we get a tournament for the top 16 ranked boxers in every weight division to determine the undisputed champion.
