Does Golovkin break the Middleweight title defense record?

[SlySlickSmooth]

This is counting the time he was also the WBA's 'regular' Champion. He is currently at 14 defenses and close to 5 years as a champion.

Hopkins has a 10+ year Middleweight reign with 20 record defenses.
Second is Carlos Monzon with a 6 year 9 month reign with 14 defenses.

If Golovkin stays at Middleweight his entire career and keeps his activity up he would be at 20 defenses within 2-3 years.

He can break the number of defenses, but not the duration.

As sad as it seems to say this... I think Golovkin will retire within 2 years. If only he was younger :/

Hopefully he gets the fights he deserves before he starts deteriorating much.

Pretty sure he'll break Monzon's title reign but Hopkins' reign at 10 years? Doubt it.

I actually think he was interim champion for some of the time people thought he was regular champion.

Yes absolutely, I'm sure there are many more espn level fighters to defend against

He was promoted immediately to regular champion upon winning it as an interim belt.

Felix Sturm was the WBA Champion then Golovkin won the belt and the WBA made Sturm the 'Super' Champion and Golovkin the 'Regular' Champion. Whatever the **** that means...

ESPN level? Willie Monroe was ESPN's BOXCINO FUCKING CHAMPION. HAVE SOME DAMN RESPECT.

B-Hop's reign: 4-29-1995 to 7-16-2005 (10 years, 2 months and 17 days)

GGG would have to really slow his activity in order to reach 10 years. Can you imagine him fighting 3 times a year for 6 more years?

I think OP is talking about number of title defenses (20).
