Comments Thread For: Can Golovkin Catch the Hopkins Defense Record at 160?

[cReal Killer]

Golovkin was promoted to WBA regular paper peasant champion in december 2010, as Felix Sturm was promoted to be the real "Super WBA" titleholder.

Felix Sturm lost the true WBA belt to Daniel Geale on september 2012, the day GGG demolished Grzegorz Proksa in his American debut.

Geale fought Anthony Mundine on January 2013, the WBA in response stripped Geale of the title. Golovkin was made the sole WBA champion as of the GGG vs Nobuhiro Ishida fight in March 2013.

Lemieux is his 9th WBA defense as true WBA champion. It's his 12th IBO defense. It's his 5th defense of the true Super WBA middleweight title.

You are wrong about GGG's wba defenses!!!

Geale was stripped on 2-nov-2012 after two months of unifying because he chose Mundine, so GGG was the sole wba full champ at MW in nov-2012 and then he fought Rosado in jan-2013 so from Rosado to Monroe, Jr. he has 9 defenses SO Lemiux is his 10th not 9th.
