Defenses of the WBA "regular" title don't count.

They do to Hopkins apparently. He's kinda disappointed his record didn't last longer

He just needs to be reminded about the difference between WBA "super" champions and "regular" champions. And how that difference applies to Golovkin's defenses.

I'm sure he'll see the logic in that once it's explained to him.

It's a shame the boxing media isn't doing a better job of pointing it out, really.

He knows the difference between GGG and Sturm, who bribed his way to safety with the super belt. Like most of us, he probably thinks GGG was the real Wba champ, as in the best guy in their rankings by a mile

GGG will not get knocked through the ropes and land on his back on the floor. At least that record will be kept in tact.

I know you will be able to clarify this but I was under the impression that Golovkin's 'successful' title defenses were only counted when he won the WBA title outright, not the interim belt. I know the WBA has a terrible rep when it comes to multiple division champions but surely his interim title win doesn't count unless it was upgraded to the full championship once he wont the belt? Was that not the case?

GGG has been the REAL WBA champion since the Geale fight

I'm not going to give Lil G credit for something he was not. He wasn't the full champion just like Jacobs or Andrade aren't the full champions now.

Those are just facts.

you.....
either, have an abundance of common-sense, or have a good understanding of the game.... probably both

the tards.....
have no clue, and they don't give a fk about boxing, so long as it benefits Golovkin

but, the media..... ???????????

wtf ?

the media proved that they were nothing but dirty whores when they blamed Mayweather because Pacquiao refused random blood tests..... the media had an obligation to call out Pac for refusing random blood tests, this is no different

I don't think that is the case, Felix Sturm was the long time holder of the championship and for whatever reason was promoted to 'super champion' for his defense against Giovanni Lorenzo on 4th of September 2010. GGG was promoted to 'regular champion' effective immediately and was them deemed outright champion when Daniel Geale dropped the belt after unifying the WBA/IBF titles against Sturm on 1st of September 2012. The WBA is just plain confusing but as far outright champion, Golovkin was outright champion from 2013 onwards.
