Who are the longest reigning champions in boxing today?

[Accolade]

World champions only.

Gennady Golovkin, Adonis Stevenson, Wanheng Menayothin and Deontay Wilder I believe are the 4 longest reigning champions.

In terms of the longest reign of a title it has to be GGG’s at 160. I think in duration Stevenson’s at 175 would likely be 2nd longest though maybe not in number of defenses.

[MasterPlan]

GGG - 2012
Stevenson - 2013.

Prettt sure those are the longest.

GGG held the secondary WBA title at that time, he wasn't elevated to the true WBA champ until 2014. Unless you call the vacant IBO title he won in 2011 a real title.

It depends if you count GGG's secondary WBA title at that time as him being the real champ. Just like people didn't consider Jacobs the WBA champ, or Manny and Charr WBA champs now.

GGG became the real WBA champ in 2014.

I would argue GGG became the real WBA champ in December 2012 once Daniel Geale was stripped of his WBA Super title. After that happened, Golovkin became the WBA's highest ranking or possibly only champion (not sure if there was an "interim" champ at that time).

Okay well it's Stevenson than GGG.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

James Degale's had a pretty long reign.

Or did that end?

[Chrismart]

As others have said, probably GGG, Stevenson or Moonsri.
