The World Boxing Council has announced that it is honoring the career of Floyd Mayweather by placing his picture on each of their famed green and gold Belts. Floyd joins Muhammad Ali and Don Jose Sulaiman, as the constant images that will appear on each WBC green and gold world championship belt. Currently, each weight category’s WBC belt features the two greatest champions of the division and the sixth picture is the one from the reigning champion.
“I’m honored to have the WBC include my likeness on their Green and Gold belts for eternity,” said Mayweather. “I remember the first time I won a WBC belt and saw the photos of the great champions on there and always wanted to be there too. It really is a dream come true for me to be alongside the great Ali, and WBC founder Don Jose, and to be recognized by them for my contributions to the organization and the sport. I am beyond grateful to receive this honor.”
Mayweather has held WBC titles at super featherweight, lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight, and super welterweight while compiling a 50-0 record with 27 KOs.
Congrats to Floyd, he deserves it, wouldn’t be surprised if Sulaiman Jr adds his picture along with Canelo’s next year.
Was thinking pretty much the same thing, nothing like blowing their own trumpets and putting pics of themselves on there. Got to love their modesty.
LOL, yes, you may be right on Sulaiman and Alvarez!
Getting sick of articles about WBC belts. By far the least humble of the organizations.
Why is Tyson Fury there?
I’m guessing as he’s the current WBC HW champ
He was considered back when he beat Wladimir Klitschko. Also I’m sure because he turned his life around when we all thought his life was over and he proved us all wrong.
Because it’s America and even though he got found guilty of cheating.He was also found guilty by the U.K for paying off a man to lie for him in court. But in his defense Canelo failed 2 drug test and he’s the Unified WBC-WBA champion and when Antonio Margarito was caught with Loaded Gloves he was rewarded with the biggest fight of his Career with a fight against Pacquiao! So my point is in Boxing Cheaters do win and thats the message that Boxing sends out.♂️
Tyson Fury doesnt belong there
Hey WBC, since you’re always looking for money-making ideas, here’s one for you. Why not sell sponsorships for those little buttons on the belt. You could let anyone who wanted to pay your fee have their picture or logo on the belt. Instead of six buttons per belt, maybe have 20 or 30. It would be great!
GTFOH with that fake bogus belt. Mayweather next to Ali? That’s about the biggest joke I’ve ever heard of. Ali was a true man in and out of the ring not a cherry picking coward who ran terrified from pacquiao for over 5 years until manny was knocked cold by Marquez then little Floyd finally had the balls to sign the contract.
Had manny injected anything in his arm like Floyd did there would have been a full blown investigation but because it was Floyd the joke of the NSAC found it okay to do. Over rated clown and his groupies including the paid off judges made sure he got that bogus shady decision against J L Castillo (first fight) guy needs to find a hobby or get a life already boring ass style he tries so hard to stay relevant just an attention whore.
Ali didnt always have this approval rating. He was well hated, called unpatriotic, unamerican, traitor, coward, and stripped of his license to apply his craft. If you cant recognize Mayweather as deserving , Im certain you wouldnt have liked Ali in his day either.
Mayweather ran it back, whenever he had a tough fight. Took the rematch with J L Castillo to prove who the better fighter is. Beat him easy! He did the Same with Maidana. Meanwhile Fury is on the belt and you say nothing? We can expect a long winded post from you regarding Fury and his long history of cheating right?
I wondering, when they going to put the pictures of Al Capone and Don Vito Corleone on their WBC belts?
I understand that the Frankie Carbo Memorial belt is under consideration…
Is the photo on the belt from before or after the hair transplant?
Hes not deserving, 50-0 is not the basis of greatness, if so? That belt is full of pictures ✌️ Realtalk
Hopefully they will put Floyd’s picture on a box of Crayons next !
NJ Boxing you know nothing about boxing. Ali a coward? Yea sure bozo Ali was a warrior which Mayweather has no clue what the word means. So NJ boxing you really should stick to Men’s figure skating sunshine
Not the biggest Floyd fan but he really does deserve to be next to those boys, and after seeing the picture of all of them, his face clicks right in! Great move WBC!
