What belts are these?

Post by sevenofgeorge »

First a pic of Joe Hipp:

The one on his right shoulder looks like a NABF belt, not too sure about the other one though. The second pic is of Fres Oquendo:

One looks like a USBA belt while I have no clue what the other two are. Comments?

Hipp's will be his WBF belt.

Oquendo has the WBC Latino title on his left shoulder. Right shoulder USBA. Waist looks like the NABF.

Aren't there two different WBF organisations? They're all pointless belts in the scheme of things, just seem to recall there being two. Hasn't someone held both?

Thanks for the info guys. As for the two WBFs question, I think Francois Botha has held both. It always confused me regarding the WBF and who was the champ. Personally Hipp's belt is kind of nice and one of the better looking WBF belts, though Holyfield's is the nicest WBF World Title belt they've had to date. Too bad it's not held in higher regard as the WBC and WBA have created a great amount of BS and confusion in boxing with all their title belts.

Oddly enough the WBF came out yesterday and said they are looking to be a serious rival to the "big 4" this year after sanctioning 40 fights in 2011.
