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.
nah, not sure where you got that from
Geale was the super-champion until he was stripped for fighting Mundine
but Golovkin did not become the WBA super-champ until June 2014, immediately before he fought Geale

the point is, even the WBA know those interim/regular titles are bullshht.....
"Mendoza wants to eliminate the issue of multiple WBA titles in every weight division. He started that mission in early 2016 and hopes to establish a single WBA champion in every weight class by the end of this year....."

Awesome man thanks for the info, it's so f***ing hard trying to understand how the WBA works sometimes.nah, not sure where you got that from

It's also a fact that anybody that matters recognizes those defenses, including Hopkins. Sorry. If it's any comfort, Hopkins record was watered down vs previousComment

He can. He was murdering Mora's body in their rematch. Jumping in and pivoting into the hooks with good footwork. Golovkin was allegedly dropped by a body shot in sparring. Jacobs might want to test the chin and the body.Comment

Everyone's been wrong before. And no I'm not rooting for Jacobs. Not much of a fan of his and I don't think he can win. I got no problem with him tho.Comment
