Saul Canelo vs Rocky Fielding

[Master]

Can someone explain this to me.

I thought there were x5 belts in each division..WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF and the IBO belt.

What exactly has Canelo just won?

The wba title. But the wba are cunning gits who decide every so often that one champion is not enough, so they elevate their champion to super champion and make the wba title vacant. For example haye was WBA heavyweight champion, then klitschko beat him, klitschko was then elevated to super champion and they vacated wba title and that's still going today, with manuel charr, fres oqurndo circus :S.... They also don't do it in every division either :S. So I Thi k technically the wba title is the actual historic one but really its a weird second division.. I only recognise the super champion as the actual wba champ.

So Canelo won the second division title but claims it is the premiere league title?

Well mostly his promoters and the guys running the tv show.. But yes that's correct.

I am a big Canelo fan but I don't rate this title win as anything special. Not like being a three weight champion. Is even that difficult for the top guys these days anyway,

Why do we recognize the ibo and when did that become a thing? Sounds weird hearing Joshua run on about it and I cannot recall it being a stand alone contested trinket more along the lines of the ol stepping stone nabf or usba belts. No wonder the wba churns belts out like a wood chipper.

Nobody cares about the IBO or WBU except people that have them. The WBA regular is as meaningless as they are in divisions with a WBA Super.
