Does The WBA “Regular” Title Actually Mean Anything?

[DuckAdonis]

Nope. It's not a real world title.

Canelo fans got to pick and choose.
If Canelo is a 3 division world champ then GGG also broke Hopkins record of most title defenses at middleweight.
Either you agree with both or you disagree with both.

[lolpz]

that all depends...

did the " WBA “Regular” Title " mean anything when Golovkin defended it 11x while equaling Hopkins middleweight record?

Well said. Read my post.

Depends who has the strap. It counts for Canelo and Gervonta. It doesn’t count for Golovkin or Murata.

It means something when Alberto Machado, Gennady Golovkin, and Manny Pacquiao hold it because people like them.

It means nothing when Canelo holds it and Gervonta Davis is about to fight for it, because people don't like them. By people I mean you included, who made this thread for this exact reason.

Ah man gtfoh. Machado was the REAL champ. What a ****** fkn comparison. He knocked out the WBA super champ. That the WBA made some corrupt move and made Davis the champion by fighting some old Argentinian who was coming off a loss, a 2 year lay off and coming up in weight...doesn't change the fact that Machado actually beat the champ. That's the difference. That's why people considered Machado as the real champion and respected his title

yep, like I said... NAMES, not nameless achievements

neither Canelo nor Golovkin achieved very much

[QueensburyRules]

I’ve been noticing a lot of Canelo fans calling him a three division champion because he won the WBA “Regular” Title from Rocky Fielding. Even his Wikipedia says he’s a three division champion.

If the regular title is legitimate, then we have a lot more world champions:

Manuel Charr (Heavyweight)
Beibut Shumenov (Cruiserweight)
Ryōta Murata (Middleweight)
Erislandy Lara (Super Welterweight)
Xu Han (Featherweight)
