      Golovkin for me. Aside from the Mitchell fight, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a Calzaghe defence back pre-Lacy.
      Plus he fought all over the world unlike Joe.

        The question was "who had a better tittle defense run?"

        It was between GGG and Calzaghe and I chose Calzaghe for beating steroid cheats like bhop and roid Jones.

          Perhaps you didn't read the question right - Who had a better run of title defences Gennady Golovkin at 160 or Joe Calzaghe at 168?

          Hopkins was 43 years old at 175. Jones was also at 175 and 39 years old, after getting KO'd by Glen Johnson & Antonio Tarver in 2 rounds.

          We're discussing 168 and 160 respectively.

            So every unorthodox fighter hits with the inside of the glove?

                Golovkin by a mile. Calslappy was fighting every bum he could find for a decade. He even fought the same bum twice.

                  Let’s be honest Carl Froch had a much better resume of opponents than the bum-killer Calslappy. And he fought them Overseas unlike the Welsh slapper.

                    GGG. Easy. Calslappy, what did he do at 168?
