Unification tournament in the heavyweight division, so that Wladimir could stand alone and say he's truly the champion of the world.
From there, boxing would look better.

Either a proper commission or 1 champ per weight class

I think a clear Heavyweight champ, that is then well marketed would do wonders for our sport.

Emergence of a new dominant heavyweight champ - Klitschko is already emerging as that champion.

One Belt per division - This would be great. 2nd best thing that could happen to boxing because true fans know who the real champions are.

Boxing back on big TV stations, no PPV's - This would be the best thing that could happen to boxing. More exposure would mean an explosion in popularity.

Boxing continues to produce 2007 standard matchups - This would also be good, but what use are all these great matchups if all of them are on PPV? Fans need to be accustomed towards seeing the fighters.

If all that could happen it would be great.

But i think that boxing back on free tv stations would be the best thing for us fans and it would be good to attract more people to boxing. I don't see it happening tought.

I think the best thing boxing can do is continue put on great matches like then been doing, this is one of the best years for boxing match up wise. I cant see the heavyweight divsion really getting any better unless the matches get made that the people actually want to see, and the belt holders try and be more active.

Those things are all good for boxing. Of the ones you posted, the BEST would be to have 1 belt per division.

I think the absolute best thing for boxing would be to have the top fighters fighting 5-6 times a year instead of just 2 or 3.

We need the re-emergence of the WBU belt as a major title, along with the IBC.

Don't forget the GBF

Big fights with regularity. Doesn't matter to me if they are PPV or not.

In order of positive impact on the sport:
1. Boxing back on public TV
2. One belt per division
3. more 2007 caliber matchups
4. evergence of dominant heavyweight champ

In order of how it would have to happen:
1. more 2007 caliber matchups
2. one belt per division
3. Boxing back on public TV
4. Emergence of dominant heavyweight champ

Major TV stations will only take boxing back if there is big money and ratings involved and that is not going to happen unless we continue to produce '07 caliber matchups [get rid of the bad decisions ala Casamayor v. Santa Cruz] w/ one belt (or identifiable champion) per division. Then with boxing back on public TV there will be an influx of larger athletes coming back to the sport and increasing the number and skill level of the heavyweight division, which will soon produce another dominant heavyweight champ.
