Great big gawdy rainbow across the front
Looks like it's got all the build quality of a primary 3 art project.

Seriously ugly title belt!

Oh I love gay people..... I just think it's a curious choice for a boxing belt! Like as it was pink (and I love pink...)

Looks like something you'd win at the carnival for hitting a coconut with a beanbag!

I always describe the European belt as a bit of blue plastic with some gold tin foil blu tacked to it.

The original one has fabric rather than the plastic and wasn't too dreadful.

Lonsdale is clearly the best looking, but the Spanish championship belt is also really nice

The ring belt is a work of art! I'll need to google the Spanish belt and have a look. You're right, the Lonsdale belt is a cracker.

No uglier than the world title belts, best looking belts are the Lonsdale and Ring belts, everything else looks like tacky WWE shite.

Well, I realise it's a bit random! But a friend of mine recently won it and I thought it looked really nice. Like a n old fashioned look. I will try and get a photo

I think the Lonsdale is pretty ugly; it looks like some old belt buckle I'd find in my grandparents' place and I'd much rather have something like the IBF red and gold belt.

If I give it bonus attractiveness points due to its history (like I suspect many do) perhaps it isn't so bad.
