Whose WBA Regular win is better, Canelo’s Fielding or GGG’s Tapia?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Tapia defeated a still kicking Heiland and should have gotten the nod over Trout.

so Tapia was a career Super Welterweight?

350 amateur fights doe

Still at completely different stages of their pro career. Pro boxing success is not the same as the amateur success so I don't know why that experience would factor into his pro career.

No, he went back and forth between both 154 and 160 his whole career. He did have a decent career considering he wasn't in pro boxing for that long.

Terrible comparison. I'd have picked GGG vs Proksa as the other option, that was a much better win.

Proksa was not a fight to win a secondary trinket. hence ''WBA Regular''

But it was for the WBA regular and IBO. Two trinket titles...

[BoloShot]

Although I will say that GGG's WBA regular belt was given to him down to corruption and blatant ducking from Sturm. Canelo opted to take that belt as if it counted as a legit belt. Different circumstances for the fights being selected and everything.

When he fought Heiland for the MW title?
He had plenty of fights above the 154 limit, so no.

Fielding has always been a Super Middleweight with various fights at LHW.

so thanks for detailing weight differences with my rhetorical questions. I knew Fielding was the better win

No. Tapia vs Fielding would have been a toss up.
And when GGG fought Tapia, there was no weight clause. None.
But clenelo needed it. Again.
