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:

i used
to admire the WBC belt, but SulaiMAMON is fuc.king that up
the wba is mierda
and wbo is whatever
and the IBF is ok
i like the ring belt more or less, but am more interested great fights then anything else
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
WBC looks the best all day, the green and gold is a thing of beauty
wouldnt mind gettin my hands on a lord lonsdale though, theyre worth a few quid those bad boys

Bad belts:
The Commonwealth Belt looks like a cardboard piece of crap

The domestic belt is cool. 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.
