    He sure did. That must be that Vegas corruption that everybody's always talkin about.

    Yep of course he is,in reality he’s been fighting as super middleweight for a long time,course he wouldn’t show his weight but that was Canelos party trick against smaller guys.
    The way he fought Golovkin I’ve no doubts he can beat em all in this division.

    Yep you right,so many belts you’re always gonna have some of these champions,Liam Smith was a pearler of a pick who nobody knew about except he’s a Smith albeit he was more legit than Fielding.

    Some of the decisions in the U.K. are worse than Vegas imo.remember Taylor v Postal?felt so sorry for Postal as he’s up against it anyway,fights a brilliant fight up after seven rounds and Taylor to his credit gets the win but the history books will not show what a spirited performance that was from Postal and believe me that so much worse than those Vegas cards.

    Yes, but only in the softest sense in that Fielding was a weak champion in a weak division.

    Could he beat the other super middleweight champions? I certainly believe he could, but Fielding was a paper champion, and not even the real champion of that sanctioning body, if I'm not mistaken.

    Really? He beats Dirrell, Smith, Uzcategui or Ramirez? Can't see it unless they're dragged down in weight or subjected to rehydration clause.

    I just can't see him beating a fully fledged SMW. Maybe if they're drained or something.
