no, there were MUCH higher caliber fighters campaigning at middleweight back in the day..... in the 10 years from 85-95 you had guys like Hagler McCallum Barkley Jackson Benn Eubank McClellan Nunn James Toney RJJ, and a host of others.... as well as appearances from superstars like Leonard Hearns Duran
it was a MUCH better era
and what about Robinson's era
Lemieux would not be top10 material back then, nobody would be calling him world-class compared to those bad boys
its not Golovkin's fault, a genuine defence record should still stand..... but defending the WBA interim title?
The WBA have promised to phase out their silly interim/regular titles, in favor of 1 champion..... so IF Golovkin beats Jacobs - and he likely will - the WBA interim title will cease to exist
the first 11-or-so defences Gennady made at 160 were for the WBA interim title, so in a couple of years when Golovkin " breaks " Hopkins record..... he will have done so by defending a title that no longer exists, and did not exist a few short years ago when Hopkins was fighting
fkn lame
read up on Charley Burley
Golovkin may break Hopkins record for world title defences, but Burley may have been a better fighter despite never even winning a title
its not right man
the interim title only exists because of greed
fans/media are supporting greed/corruption simply because it is a cool-story-bro that benefits their favorite fighter
its not rightComment
