I think we should buy a real good heavyweight belt and should give it to Audley Harrision......
o.k. a middleweight world belt for Eastman has also some charme......

Considering there's 'Please do not bid for this item' in huge red letters next to the picture alongside doubts about its authenticity, I'd be slightly suspicious.
The guy's got 100% positive feedback.
On 3 sales.
For the sake of 20k, I'll carry on using my Moss Bros number to keep my trousers up.

Was Ray Robinson hard up for cash, that he had to sell his belts in the first place?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was genuine - if you were going to fake a SRR belt, you'd probably fake one of his genuine world title belts, rather than the cosmetic Ring belt.
That's a bemused looking Leon Spinks in the photo isn't it?
Sad to see stuff like this up for auction, seems a bit like grave robbing.
Borg pulled his Wimbledon trophies out of auction last week, due to public outcry apparently.

Yes, poor business ventures I believe, that and a lot of high living, womanising and drink.

What does his genuine ones look like and who own them?
How many ring belts did Sugar Ray have?

That would explain it then Kev, must be loads of Ring SRR belts circulating in that case.
His real world belts will say something like NYSAC World title or National Boxing Association World title on them I'd guess.
