People say Tank is not a 3 division champ due to the WBA"regular" title

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

yet some of those same people claim GGG had over 20 title defenses..so which is it??? is the belt a legit title or not?

Nah definitely not. He’s a 1 division legitimate world champion in all honesty.

GGG only has 16 defences over two reigns also beginning with Rosado in 2013 after Geale vacated the WBA super.

The long and short of it is the WBA regular isn’t a legit world title.

The sanctioning bodies are only looking at the money. They don't give a crap about the sport. There are too many titles and too many sanctioning bodies.. Whether they are legitimate titles depends who your favorite fighter at the time is I guess. If you enjoy watching a fighter be it Tank or Golovkin just enjoy the fight.

Exactly. Great opinion.

That's why I always say, screw all the belts, all versions of them. The belt orgs are crooked and greedy, with no morals or principles. They only cater to the highest bidder. They don't give a **** about boxing, only about their pockets.

I don't recognize any of the belts.

And, by the way, Larry isn't a Davis fan. Maybe he remembers the Broner prediction of the fighter of decade and is reserved about the up and comers. Or maybe Larry isn't a fan because of Gervonta's out of the ring stuff. There's nothing to dislike about him in the ring. I don't know. Just saying..

Larry is right, tho, people have to stay consistent.

Golovkin was the best middleweight for many years no matter how you do the math. At 140, Tank may not be top 3

I've seen many white people declaring Canelo an ¨honorary white man¨, because he's just too good and his skin is light enough

I guess the same can be applied to GGG

too bad his superior russian genes got mixed with the weakass korean genes, otherwise he could be even stronger (and whiter) than he is

Both Russian and Korean genes dont have much fast twitch muscle

Bogus 3 weight champ and bogus title defense record /thread. Both should not count and be compared to real champions.

I'm actually okay with this.

I saw someone on Twitter saying Josh wasn't undisputed at 140. I promptly logged out.

Hasn't all of Tank's belts been WBA? Seems to have a nice arrangement with the org.

Took the IBF from Pedraza but you’re right about his relationship with the WBA, since then vacant WBA super at 130, vacant WBA regular at 135 and WBA regular at 140. Definitely in Gilberto Mendoza’s good books.

Got it! The IBF was definitely legit. Many thought Tank would lose that one. I haven't caught the Barrios fight yet but that Pedraza fight was his best moment so far.

Yeah was a very impressive performance vs Pedraza, I hadn’t seen much of Tank aside from highlights prior to that fight. Think it was on the Jack-DeGale undercard if I remember correctly.
