    Which are the most prestigious belts?

    I know there are alot of belts out there, but can anyone fill me in on the most significant belts in order, maybe top 4-5?
    Thanks

    For alot of people, its the Ring Magazine Title. Its been around since I believe the 20s or 30s. Secondly, It would be the WBC title.

      I actually like the IBF the most. There seems to be less give away fights and it seems though there champions are obscure less political than the World of Bandits and Charlatans. But that doesn't mean that it is the most prestigious.

        I use to hold the WBC in slightly higher esteem and the other 3 equaly just below it but now its pretty much the same with the caveat being the owner makes the belt more prestigious.

        But I guess I hold the ring magazine belt the highest now.....but don't know if thats what the OP meant.

          The 4 major sanctioning bodies are the IBF, WBO, WBC and WBA, I don't know which was/is more prestigious, the fighter should make the belt, not the other way round.

                To lend James Toney's words to the discussion, "WBC stands for We Be Crooks, and the WBO - we don't even count that."
