Kellerman is a dreamer. He wants to
1. eliminate the title bodies and have one "unified" champ
2. put the weight classes back to the six there originally were instead of the twelve or so they have now
3. something to do with mandatory challengers to eliminate the "he don't fight nobody" thing
Kellerman and cronies have taken to calling the top ranked guy in each class by Ring magazine the champion.

I'm not saying this isn't a great idea. It's just that this would eliminate ALOT of the money men. And they won't stand for that. There's too much at stake.
