Below is the belt Ray Robinson wore. It looks very much as the Ring Mag. belt of today. If it is a ring belt it must be very old.

Couldnt quote your picture because of the 15 posts rule.

They brought out the modern RING magazine rankings and champions in I forget what year, if it was 2001, 2002 or 2003. That belt came with it. However, it didn't last long and they reverted back to the classic style one.

Also Cotto's belts are WBA Fedelatin and WBC International I think.

I believe they re-introduced the ring magazine belt when Spinks fought Tyson. Spinks was regarded as the ring champion and wore the belt with him in the ring.

In 2002, The Ring attempted to clear up the confusion regarding world champions by creating a championship policy. It echoed many critics' arguments that the sanctioning bodies in charge of boxing championships had undermined the sport by pitting undeserving contenders against undeserving "champions", and forcing the boxing public to see mismatches for so-called "world championships". The Ring attempts to be more authoritative and open than the sanctioning bodies' rankings, with a page devoted to full explanations for ranking changes. A fighter pays no sanctioning fees to defend or fight for the title at stake, contrary to practices of the sanctioning bodies. Furthermore, a fighter cannot be stripped of the title unless he loses, decides to move up in weight, or retires.

Like I said, they re-introduced it in 2002 with that horrible looking belt, but quickly reverted back to the classic style one. Believe me now?

Thanks for the lecture. Green on the way.

It was not as if I didn't believe you. I just hadn't seen the belt before and to me it looks like they made a bad decision making one so different from classic well-known belt. Good that they returned to the old one.
