At 140 yea. He lost the WBA belt to Carlos Maussa.

Yep, and then he went on about how avoided he was and stuff, then went and lost in a pretty big upset at the time against Carlos Maussa.

So do you class harris as a world champion then, because when he held the WBA Title, there were two WBA champions and he was the regular one ans Tzsyu was the Super Champiob, but do you think he should still be classed a world champion?

Harris was 'Full Champion' for a little while when Tszyu no longer held the WBA title after the Leija fight, I prefer to call guys like Harris titlists but technically they are 'World Champions'.

If they gain sole ownership of the title then yeah, I do.

I personally classify them as paper titlists unless they go out and fight the best. I prefer to call guys who fight the best and beat the best champions.

Yeah, but what i mean is do regular WBA champions go down on record as being a ''world champion''?
