Lol at the MMA people thinking things like belts and who's the 'champion' matter in boxing. What do you think it is, a well managed sport with a respected governing body?

Lid posted:While in MMA we get to talk about how all championships are meaningless except for the UFC I would like an explanation of what, if any, boxing championships aren't worthless given that there seems to be fifty billion of them for weight classes a pound apart. All of them are worthless unless the best guy holds it, pretty much. The fighter makes the belt, nowadays, not vice versa.

RobBorer posted:Start a new sport that is the exact same thing as boxing, but uses 4 ounce gloves, 3 rounds of 3 minutes, and uses MMA weight classes. Get on HBO, and use a tournament system with exclusive contracts. Sign young talent and build stars while establishing a new culture. Quoting this from way back but.. We have this in the UK already basically. It's called Prizefighter and it's 8 fights in one night, basically a little tournament of 3 x 3 minute rounds. It's pretty awful but that might just be because the only guys that do it are the ones that have to enter it because they're not good enough for proper boxing. Probably, though, it's poo poo because that's not what Boxing is. Boxing isn't a 'who hits harder' competition. It's about hitting and not getting hit and outlasting your opponent over 35(or 12 if you want to be a GIANT NEW AGE PUSSY) rounds. In the last one, a dude got to the final but had to withdraw because of a cut so a stand by got to enter, fresh as a daisy into the final and fight a guy who had just fought twice. He lost.
