    WBO Title holders right now. Calzaghe, Guzman, Ibragimov, Gonzalez, Pavlik, and Quintana. Just name a fiew. The WBO is a prestegious belt. With those list of names no wonder people recognize the WBO belt now.

    Fighters make the belt, belts don't make the fighters.

    WBO is obviousy prestiouges when you have the top fighters in certain divisions defending it and only that one in many cases.
