    Why Are the WBO,WBA and IBF belts the same size for Everybody?

    The WBC belt suits any division but the other big three's belts are huge on smaller fighters.

    I mean, why don't they make the belts smaller for the smaller divisions?

    Not saying to change the size for every single champion.

    If you have a flyweight champion, he's only going to be so big in the waist and body.

    Why not make the lighter weight guys' belts smaller?

    Those big belts look ridiculous on them.

    The same reason why they don't make small men size'd condoms. Belts were made to fit normal size'd human beings much like condoms.

            Boxing wants to give the impression its larger than life .

            Therefor the smaller classes have to play the role of the LITTLE guy where the belt makes them look like someone used a shrinking gun ray on them !

              They're way too big for everyone including the heavyweights

              It would be kinda redundant to make a "size small" version of a gigantic golden cartoon belt
