The WBC Diamond belt, a title created for mega fights made at catchweights has created noise within the boxing world. Some people like this idea by the WBC as they agree with the sanctioning body that some fights made at catchweights deserve a title at stake, and that is what the diamond belt is for.
However, it is not yet clear to most boxing fans what will happen to this belt after its sanctioned fight. Obviously, it will be held by the winner. How will it be defended and contested by other fighters wanting to hold such title? Is this a one time belt that whoever gets it, will have it for the rest of his life?
For the sake of argument, do you think this belt gives more excitement to boxing or will just add chaos and complication? Will there be more diamond belts after this first? Or will they need to beat Manny to ever hold such title? These questions will be answered and will be clear to boxing fans eventually.

What happen is that Cotto will knock pacquiao out and will own the D belt.
ReplyDeleteDude...you did not answer any of the questions. My assumption is...whoever wins should hold the belt for life, for he earned it. They just have to make a new one for the next champion. WBC earns alot of money out of the fighter's blood and sweat anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis diamond belt, like the WBA "Super belt" is load of crap...What's next WBC World international runner up belt?
