    You must be a closet Calzaghe fan pretending to be a hater seein as you feel the need to bring him into nearly everything.

    STFU Unless you have something usefull to say and stick to the topic.
    This is not about Calzaghe,If you want to talk about him do it in a thread discussion that's actually about him.

      well you don't even know some simple rules of boxing. a no contest or a draw counts the same as a title defense cause you left the ring with the belt thus you defended it.

        A draw counts as a successfull title defense since the champ gets to keep the title, hence the 20 title defenses.

        Pretty simple really.

          You have 19 because you didn't count both times he fought Robert Allen. NC or not, he retained the title.

            I have 19 because I dont count the 1st fight with Robert Allen which he didn't win becuse it was a No Contest due to the fact he was knocked out of the ring by Mills Lane.
            No win=No Real Title Defence because quite simply you havent successfully defended the title if you didn't finish the fight.

            Hence why really his successfull TITLE DEFENCES TOTAL=19

              That's your preference, however that's not how it goes and that's why he has 20 title defenses officially.

                You might actually be right that it didn't count either way because there was no winner in the match, in that case though, wouldn't #20 actually be Jermain Taylor?

                I'm saying this because it would HAVE to add up to 20 because there's no way so many boxing critics, historians, etc. would all make that mistake.

                  Retaining the Title due to No Contest and actually Successfully Defending it are two very different things.

                    LIke I said , it's your preference to think so if you choose to.

                    20 officially in the record books.

                      That's the point Im making,the mistake has been made.
                      I wouldn't have thought it possible either.

                      As for Jermain Taylor he beat B-Hop for the titles so no thats not the 20th successfull title defence since he lost.

                      I brought this up because I find it quite disturbing that such a mistake has been made with something such as an official record.
                      It makes me wonder how many other mistakes have been made when it comes to the record books.

                      There's probably alot more inconsitancies that we dont know about.
