    no but I think the destruction was an impressive win. I think he could in time be a successful 168lb fighter I just cant confidently pick him over Callum Smith

    Of course he is, he beat a world champion at that weight class. Now Fielding is pretty bad for a titlist, but he still won it off an official world champ at 168 pounds. He didn't do it at 160 pounds fighting for a 168 lb belt.

    The people who say no are

    Canelo haters
    GGG lovers
    Or Fielding haters.

    No, I dont don't consider "regular" version of WBA to be a World champion. Similar i don't consider the WBC "Diamond" , The IBO, "lineal Champion" or the international versions of world titles.

    There are 4 world titles- IBF, WBC, WBO and the "Super" WBA.

    Or people who don't recognize the wba regular as a world title. Expecially when theres a wba super champ active.

    Nope, not with that belt but he would be in even fights against all the SMW champions bar Smith. He’ll end up being one.
