    None of them come close to the Lonsdale belt for me, it's the classiest looking belt out there.

    It should have been handed over at the final bell.

    It hasn't been 'handed over' though. It's a different belt. Zab earned his, and has paid for it, he can do whatever he wants with it.

    It's ceremonial more than anything, letting Khan get a few photos with it would have been the decent thing to do. Not a major issue in the grand scheme of things though I suppose.

    You're talking about Zab though.....

    The sort of man who throws a ball breaker to avoid a probable KO loss to Mayweather or realises that he's got a cut and might be ahead on the cards so quits like a girl against Clottey.

    Oh yeah I agree with you there mate. Ask Marvin Hagler how much it means to miss out on being presented with your belts in the ring.

    On the other hand though if you're thinking about giving your opponent the belt before the fight then your mindset probably isn't right going in.

    Zab found God but could let Khan pose with his belt for 5mins.

    Shame he couldn't find Khans chin as well as Jesus :hey

    Also not quite sure what finding God has to do with it but, hey ho!

    Perhaps he asked himself "what would Jesus do?" and concluded that Jesus would intentionally be a stubborn, childish little twat about it and disappear off down the tunnel clutching a trinket that is now devoid of any meaning or value.

    I know you are correct but this is hillarious and really sums up the alphabet soup organisations

    Zab is also one of those guys who carries his meaningless trinkets into the ring with him like he is still the holder of those titles, a bit embarrasing really

    After finding God he should be at peace with himself, therefore should not be so petty and not let a young guy who just beat you not enjoy his victory by posing with your belt for 5mins, just feels childish and unsportsmanlike.

    Not really though. As has been said, it's his belt
