    Jeez. Belts mean nothing these days. There's more prestige in owning a tool belt.

    That's the alternative WBA belt he has, with the ring type colours rather than brown leather. Super Champion? or just an alternative?

    I hear that Cotto is going to vacate the WBB belt, but it's ok because they're going to promote him to WBB Diamond Champion.

    Mystery Solved:

    It's the belt of the newly formed 'World Boxing Board' out of San Juan, Puerto Rico (no surprise that they gave it to Cotto then :yep )

    "The WBB was created in San Juan, Puerto Rico and its purpose is to rebuild the confidence of the fans and the media, and to promote the creation of world titles that are awarded only to boxers who actually earn them through their performance," said WWB CEO Santiago Albanese.

    That's a relief. I thought it might have been another meaningless trinket.

    What a revolutionary idea. Fans and the media are losing faith due to the plethora of titles and multitude of world championship belts out there. The WBB wants to restore confidence by introducing another world title? ****in genius.

    I'm shocked that no-one thought of that already. How on earth were we all so blind?

    Looks dire as well. If you're going to copy another design at least make it decent. The Lonsdale and Ring belt are the two finest looking in my opinion.
