What Championship belt do you prefer?

I was just looking at the main Amir Khan article and I couldn't quite work out what belt he was holding. It looks like a WBA International Belt and therefore an old picture (3 years I think). Anyway, what belts do you think look the nicest out of the main 4 sanctioning bodies and what other belts do you like? My favourite sanctioning belt is the IBF Red - really nice and my least favourite is the WBC which I absolutely despise. In order to aesthetics, I think it goes: IBF > WBO > WBA > WBC. Let's keep this based on aesthetics rather than which sanctioning body actually seems to be the fairest: http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/IBF-heavyweight-belt-International-boxing-federation.jpg http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/attachments/tbcb-photos/16222d1097124165-title-belt-photos-wbo.jpg http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/attachments/tbcb-photos/16077d1096958662-title-belt-photos-wbc.jpg http://pl.b5z.net/i/u/6104919/i/Zwebsite_Ali_Autographed_WBA_belt_4.jpg

Seems like half the posters read TS post. The question was which belt LOOKS best nothing about what you think of the sanctioning bodies.

Whew I was afraid I was going to find a poll with the belt from every single sanctioning body. Thankfully not... WBC belt is really cool imo, far and away the one I'd want hanging on my wall:boxing:

if your talking prestige etc then its gotta be lonsdale as its been around by far the longest and has a ddep history. of the world title belts heres my order........ WBC WBA WBO/IBF(cant separate these two) the ring belt means in most cases your the lineal champ so thats the one you should be chasing

None! They are all just untrustworthy businesses making money. The only real title is undisputed!

The second belt looks like something from a boxing event at gaypride rally.

The WBC. It was the belt i first learned to recognice and since then i held that as a standard for what a belt should look like. I also like the green color.
