    People calling for a national comission to govern boxing

    Please explain something to me. How the heck is this supposed to work, if boxing is a GLOBAL sport, not the NFL or the NBA which are national leagues only, that's why you have GLOBAL governing bodies like the WBA and the WBC... or are you suggesting the the United States should monopolize boxing or do an exclusive competition separate from the rest of the world? I mean you already have national tittles, like the NABF belt, don't you?

    It would be responsible for all fights that are held in the United States. Foreign fighters would still go through the normal license process per state.

      What would be its purpose and how would it benefit boxing so much? I mean, when I hear people calling for this they talk like is something that would completely change boxing for the better. Each state already has its athletic comission, I guess this would be the same but monopolized at a federal level, I don't get how is that going to change boxing so much for the better.

          It is generally wanted for a real single national ranking system and for more accountability. This would be aimed at 1 champion per division as it should be. The Federal Boxing Commission would set the standard across the board for all state commissions and get funding from tax payers I would assume. I am not sure how the alphabet orgs would fall under a US national commission structure.

            Well, but we are back to the same, they can determine who the US national champion per division is but in boxing we have WORLD champions, and there are more world champions from outside the US than from the US, and more world championship fights take place outside of the US than the ones that take place in the US.

              What a ****** idea, that would never work. Boxing is a global sport and there is nothing wrong with it except for Floyd, Manny and Al Haymon.

                There wouldn't be no need for a national commission if state commissions held timekeepers,judges,refs and other officials accountable.

                  State commissions are almost certainly corrupt. Just look at the horrendous judging faux pas made. These cannot all be inept judging can they??
                  Yes it needs a National , or better still an International Boxing Commission, & I know the very man to head that commission. Teddy Atlas
                  OK we all know Teddy is eccentric at times & is prone to going on rampages but he truly LOVES the sport of boxing & would be honest to a fault.
                  Something needs to be done about the officiating . You don't have to be a boxing expert to see some of the judging & refereeing as blatantly corrupt.
                  Judges should be held accountable for their actions. When a very suspect card is produced the judge should be hauled before the commission & made to watch a tape & explain his scoring.
                  Fighters risk their lives every time they enter the ring & they should be able to rely on the system that a fair & just decision is rendered. That is just not the case today. They said boxing was corrupt in the 50's but its just as bad today if not worse. Its just done in a different way
