Comments Thread For: Hearn Admits Shock When Golden Boy Called on Canelo-Fielding

I think you meant you are welcome or you’re welcome.

I also think you meant to say psych yourself UP not out.

I will keep trying to teach you but I see it is going to take a while.

Ok take it the grammar route if it makes you feel better about yourself because you know you're clueless when it comes to boxing. Thats why you keep on driveling. And no I meant out not up but whatever is easier for you to understand. Remember this too, Canelo Alvarez former jr middleweight champ now middleweight champ (after beating ggg) and now going for a supermiddle weight title. I know you understand that.

You could have just said thank you.

Psyched myself out, that doesn’t even make sense given the context of the conversation but you go on noob.

You keep going back to non related “points” hoping that triggers me LOL. You really are butt hurt.

I know a lot of things don't make sense to you. Like the difference between physical and fundamental or why I type your "name" in quotations. Don't worry groupie maybe when you grow up they will. I think you just started watching because of ggg or maybe canelo you seem to be obsessed with him.

LOL! Obsessed says the guy who brings up points about Canelo that have no relevance in this particular discussion. Obviously you got owned "1 pound" so you are desperate to change the topic.

Why are you so scared to tell me why you put my name in quotes? For a guy putting "dukesville" as your name it sure sounds more like "ducksville". The more you write the more I think I am right, you were clowned too many times with another profile name so you started a new one. Hahaha, unfortunately once a fool always a fool "1 pound". You can change your profile over and over but the root problem cannot be fixed, it is between your ears.

Just imagine if Fielding lands a hail Mary and becomes the unified MW Champion lol...Rocky Fielding!

[iamboxing]

I think everyone was suprised Canelo would fight a fighter the caliber in Rocky Fielding whos barely even proven he’s above domestic level at this point

I get it, It’s a quick turnaround stay busy fight for a fake trinket in a current subpar division and Canelo gets to delay his WBC mando for a bit longer


But this is a sh.it fight and a total sham that Canelo will be considered a 3 division champ after this

keeping his fans happy by staying busy, similar to fighters of the past like louis bum of the month club, ali fighting the wepners and bugners of the world.....they were entertaining fights nonetheless, and in the end major fights happened soon after, i like the idea of fighters giving noobs chances like the noobs thrown into the coliseum

They've been doing it for 17 years. This is the first you're hearing of it?

I've only been real into boxing for about the last year or year and a half. Obviously I had seen that before, "WBA super" and "WBA regular", but I didn't really think to look into it. Knowing nothing about it I figured maybe it was some distinction made between whether a vacant WBA title was won or if someone won it off a champion.

It wasn't until this Canelo-Fielding announcement that I saw a bunch of people saying that the WBA regular is not real title, so I asked.

[SN!PER]

Canelo at 168... shit just got real.

Benavidez, Callum Smith, and Zurdo are coming for him like beasts in the forest.

Agreed, people complain about inactivity but they also complain about caliber of opponents when a fighter is active, you can't win.. I think it's unreasonable to expect every fight to be a superfight and trying to do that can be damaging to someone's career. Canelo has one of the best resume's out there, he should be able to take fights like this without people complaining.

Starting in 2001, any time a WBA world champion unified with a recognized title (WBC, IBF, WBO), the WBA stripped their world champion and annointed them "super champion," allowing the WBA to then go crown another world champion.

Over time, the WBA grew addicted to the additional sanctioning fees and began crowning super champions for any reason they chose, not just instances of unification.

Which is the "real" WBA title is open to debate. I take the literal approach. The WBA world championship is the WBA world championship. The WBA super championship is the WBA super championship. Hard to say the Super title is a world title when the WBA itself says it isn't.

But then people don't want to recognize a WBA world champion in a division that also has a super champion.

I think the simple solution is to stop recognizing the WBA entirely until they get rid of all of the super titles.
