If you had one Boxing Wish, what would it be?

[IRLangmaid25]

To have any dream match up involving current I want to see happen made.

[pound per pound]

If I had one Boxing wish, I'd wish that Boxing was run exactly like the UFC in terms of matchmaking, title fights and one recognized champion in each weight class. Boxing would become one of the greatest sports in the world.

What would be your Boxing wish?

Only 1? Boxing needs 15!

The biggest problem in our sport is the talent level. It's true. So I wish each medalist in the Olympics or World Amateur Championships would receive a bonus to go professional.

How can this be done? Put in a luxury tax of PPV's where fighters make over 3 million, and build funds for the top amateurs to turn professional regardless of who promotes them.


Gold = 100k signing bonus. 50% up front, the rest to be paid over the course of fighters first 10 fights.

Silver = 50K signing bonus. 50% up front, the rest to be paid over the course of fighters first 10 fights.

Bronze = 25K signing bonus. 50% up front, the rest to be paid over the course of fighters first 10 fights.

While this might not be a lot of money to a UK or USA citizen, it would be for many boxers. Enough I think to give it a go.

this already happens! you think medallists don't get signing bonus? Promoters are usually falling over themselves to sign Olympic medallists.

I meant from boxing itself, not from promoters. This bonus to go professional would make more talents give it a go.

Who is boxing itself?

There isn't a single governing body, so how would that happen, whose pocket does the money come from?

To see the likes of Canelo, Mayweather, Chris Eubanks Jr, BJS all line up in a straight line in front of GGG so we can watch him steam roller through them, one by one.

I would abolish the jr.flyweight, super flyweight, super bantamweight and super featherweight divisions. Also would like to see one world championship belt per weight class.

If just one wish, among current boxers only, I would say Roman Gonzalez vs Guillermo Rigondeaux.

I would love to see Floyd vs GGG
