Im planning to get a replica WBC belt for my father for his 70th birthday. I think WBC belt is the coolest looking world title out there... I've writen a letter to WBC and they said that they would take $500 off out of $1500 because I'm getting it for my father for his 70th b-day.
The WBC does the same thing, they also award a medallion.
i see.
dude, your avatar and signature must get guys on this board fired left and right...
I do love it though :D
not much, about 2 or 3 pounds.
Ive held the IBF and IBO belts of Vic Darchinyan.
Some more info on belts...
Once you become World Champion, you get 2 of the same belt, one to keep forever, and another that is always passed on in the ring and is for show.
Also, after defending the IBF belt 3 times in a row, you also get a nice championship diamond ring from the IBF.

here is a nice website that sells all the belts. Great guy, he is Armenian too and supplies the belts to all the major boxing bodies.

i think the WBA looks the best. black and gold.
the brown and gold of the WBO looks ugly.
the green and gold of the WBC just dont look like they should be together.
the red and gold of the IBF doesnt look too bad, but i think the WBA looks better.
i agree with most i like the wbc belt as well its not the most extrvegant but i am old school type guy and the wbc had the air force one old school look to it..
I wonder how much those things weigh?
not much, about 2 or 3 pounds.

I think thats Biased.. The WBC is the best but its not the best looking.. How does the WBA look dull compared to the WBC??

I don't like that light green color at all.
because the WBC has color, and that green is known Worldwide as THE belt to have for a boxing world champion. Also, green and gold make for a very nice look in my opinion, and also the many flags of different countries.
Maybe i am a bit biased having seen that green belt on every legendary world champion that has fought in my era.
for me, the aestetic looks as well as the prestige of the boxing body go in this order:
1) WBC - green and gold (best looking, and most prestigous and sought after belt in boxing)
2) IBF - red and gold (second best looking, and second in prestige)
3) WBO - purple and gold (looks arite)
4) WBA - black (dull and plain looking belt)

The WBA and WBC belts are the ones that usually get the most respect, the other two arent held in a very high regard.
im not talking about respect or most / least regarded titles, im talking about most eye catching belts.
