    When either fighter hits on hard times they can sell the diamonds.

    The Lonsdale belt is the most beautiful belt.

    This belt is one of the many reasons why Boxing struggles vs MMA and lose credibility every year when some peoples are trying to build it back.

    I personally think that the Ring belt is the best looking and most meaningful. What boxing needs is someone with a shit load of cash to buy out all the governing bodies and melt all the "world championships" down, build a new fort knox and store all the gold there. Then they need to have a little tournament in each division like the one in the SMW divison now and get a new champ that will then be undisputed and "the man"!

    There are too many belts already. I was hoping the WBA would be the only organization who chose to add more letters to the alphabet, but now the WBC had to add to the already confusing world title scene. The IBF and The Ring are becoming the only belts that hold weight with me anymore.

    I don't give the IBF that much credit (see their stripping of Clottey & Malignaggi for not offering 10% sanctioning fees). The Ring it is then.

    The WBO has actually come on in leaps and bounds and the IBO too, still only the Ring that mean anything to me though!

    How much did they want to charge to sanction Cotto/ Pacqiao? Leaps & bounds for their on pockets! Who have Erdie & Narvaez fought that was even close to a top contender? Zbik the #1 contender at 160? I still can't stand them!

    But I'm with you about The Ring, represents the real champions!

    A fucking joke. When you think boxing might somewhat striaightening out they put this meaningless belt out there. The Diamond belt was an amatuer tournament belt at one point was it not? I believe it started in New York.
