Gennady Golovkin has made 9 successful defences of his WBA title and has his 10th defence booked in for February. With him fighting 4 times a year do you think it is possible for him to break 'the executioners' record 20 defences? It wasn't untill Hopkins' 13th defence that he unified the WBC strap with his ibf title. It wasn't untill he beat Felix 'Tito' Trinidad in his 14th defence that he won The Ring middleweight title and became recognised as The Lineal champion.
Can GGG make 11 more successful defences? Can he get Martinez in the ring within the next 5 fights and can he beat Hopkins record of Lineal title defences?
Thoughts?
no doubt GGG will exceeds poopkins record of 20 defenses but in an exciting fashion. with no hugging, elbowing, back pedaling, no bull crap...
pretty much, they would all end by brutal knock outs.
If he wanted, he could take the belt to Germany and beat up four guys a year from now until retirement and make a nice living doing it. 20 defences would be very achievable. Hopefully he gets the big fights in the US and he never takes that option.
Quit and find a new hobby. GGG is not as fast as Guerrero or anyone Floyd has faced so just stop it.
Guerrero wasn't fast enough to get out of the way of bum Aydin's punches. He was reeling vs a guy 150 fight night, with 64 inch reach. Guerrero's last full title came at 130, and even that was a paper belt. This guy landed 120 punches on Floyd, doesn't bode well against a murderer like GGG. But what does bode well for you is that Floyd wouldn't take that fight in a million years.

If he stays at 160 he can have 30 successful defenses

Jaja Your absolutely correct. Guerrero throws 5 to every single GGG punch right?
If he can cherrypick his way through the way "the Whatever" guy has done then yes! Hopefully GGG has real top competition so the fans get to see great fights.
Ray.
Nah, well if he keeps fighting the level of competition he's fighting maybe he comes close, but I doubt it. He'll get beaten by a boxer, cause brawlers eventually get beaten by boxers, plus he doesnt fight any good competition. He'll end up just like Matthysse. Stevens showed he can easily be hit, he has no defense. Just another flavor of the week, Floyd would shut him out for 12 rounds. And Ward will treat him like bhop did pavlik. He will be forgotten in 5 years.:boxing:
Yes because an Olympic silver medalist with over 300 amateur fights is just a brawler.

Floyd gets hit way too much, lucky he was fighting a featherfisted blown up feather:
Punches landed:
Golovkin 293
Stevens 97
Mayweather 195
Guerrero 113
Glen Johnson, jermain taylor and ODH?
If he stays at MW for the next 3 years he could tie the record.
that version of glen johnson in 97,, GGG would probably stop him ala the ouma fight
Jermaine taylor gets stopped if its ggg now,, but a 38-40 year old ggg like hopkins was,, im not sure
Oscar gets brutalized by GGG,,,, Oscar has alot of balls to go up to MW but he had no business going there except to try and make history,, that is why oscar is one of my favorites of all time,, i guy took all the big fights
I think GGG would plow thru all the guys that hopkins did during his reign, minus tito,,, GGG might beat tito, but i dont think he has the skill set to dismantle tito the way that hopkins did,, and tito has a great shot of ko'ing ggg
in the current division, yes i think ggg could break 20 title defenses,,,, he needs 11 more
1. korobov
2. geale
3. serg
4. murray
5. sturm
6. barker
7. pirog
8. quillen
9. N'dam
10. lee
11. vera
12. rematch vs someone
I think over the next couple years if he stays at 160,, he could break the record,,,
if i ggg, i dont move up to 168,,,, totally clear out the division first like a hagler or hopkins has done,,, nothing wrong with ruling a division like a boss much like kosta tsyzu did for many years
