I think before we go any further, the idea of regional titles should be rejected or accepted in a democratic fashion.

I have included 3 alternatives... The only 3 as I see them.

I believe that this discussion warrants a new topic...

I shall refresh you lads with my opinion, if you happened to miss it.

I believe the regional titles are a BAD idea.

Fopr a few reasons:
1. We are putting restrictions on what fighters can and cannot fight for.

2. The glaring flaw in introducing Regional Titles is that some regions will have tougher opponents than other regions...
This means that some boxers will have to defeat a better standard of opposition than others just to have a title of equal importance.

This is not fair... For instace:
A lot of great boxers this season are Mexican... Whereas another region's title will be easier top win because of the lower standard of opposition.
***
I believe hat every boxer should have the right to challenge for any title...
Okay, I admit, a boxer ranked #32 shouldn't be given a shot in a title eliminator for any of the big 4 titles...
But I see that as just honouring the rankings system,
not allowing nationality to dictate the terms of our title fights...


I do understand the reason for including the regional titles though, managers want to give the lower ranked fighter look-ins for titles...

But I believe that this problem can be solved very easily...
Why not include another universal world title, that every fighter can fight for...
Maybe the IBO title... It is held in similar regard to the WBU title...

And if that is not enough, maybe include the WBF title as well...

That will give the lower ranked fighter (20 and below) 3 titles to fight for...
And because things aren't being broken up according to region, it means that the playing ground is level and that everyone from week 1 onward will be starting on an even kneel.

The best thing that can be said about my idea is:
It means that every fighter is available to fight for every title.

Thoughts? gentlmen.

Adding more "world" titles I think is a silly idea, because then the sim-world just gets as convulted as the real-world.

Unless, when a fighter owns two or more titles we bring in the ever-popular.....Super World Champion.....and free up the regular title for the next-best fighters?

It's silly, but I like that as a better idea than adding an extra organisation to the sim. (Obviously the WBU title is ineligible for this)

I like the idea of the regional titles but can see what you're saying about talent levels. In life things are unfair, why should the sim be any different. Or as an alternative why don't we do it by the manager's region - so we'd have the European, North American and Australasian titles - off the top of my head?

Regional Titles should only be available to boxers not ranked in the top 10 of the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO or something to that effect

Thanks mfor supporting me... Fuckers!!!

Crease, your complaint arrived on my desk early this morning, delivered by my secretary...



Unfortunatly, after my morning routine, I realized I was in a predicament. Your paperwork turned out to be most useful.



And after all that, I did, in fact, give it's proper due.



I hope this settles the matter :geek2:

Sometimes the commish isn't funny.
