1. The “draw” with Alvarez should count as a title defense because he kept the belts. For some reason that doesn’t count. YET...
2. Hopkins had a no contest vs. Robert Allen which should NOT count as a defense but they count it for some reason.
Count the wins and you have 19 plus the no contest which actually also stops the streak. Someone please explain.

Close decision against Austin trout
Went 12 rounds with the ghost of mosley
Ridiculously close decision against Lara,many people though he lost
Got schooled for 12 rounds by mayweather
Fought a shot to hell angulo
Fought a shot to tell Kirkland who had lost 50 lbs,and had already been ko'd by ishida in one round.
Went 12 with a past prime cotto who's most recent achievements we're losing to trout,beating a one legged martinez,a random Dominican,and a drained geal.
Fought China chin Khan at a catch-weight,and was getting outboxed until he found the china.
Went 12 with a post Martinez Chavez Jr whose training diet was probably pot and Cheerios.
Had a highly controversial draw in which 90% of the boxing world had golovkin winning the decisions.
Canelo has one of the best if not the best resume of active fighters. Ward is retired and if you consider pacquaio psuedo retired.

The lines are blurred here. Some people will say GGG has equalled the record and some will say he hasn't. For me, he hasn't because I don't regard the WBA "regular" belt as a legitimate world title. One thing is for sure, it's the WBA who are responsible for the confusion #boxing

He really isn’t, though, because a few of GGG’s first defenses were of the joke @WBABoxing’s regular title https://t.co/2mUQDIsa0s

Originally posted by apollocreed View PostWBA regular may be the most lightly regarded title in today's era, but it's still a legitimate title. Are you saying only the WBA 'super' should count? If it was the IBO, I'd agree with you, but the WBA is one of the four recognized belts.
p1ss off
how the fk is it even slightly possible for the WBA to recognize 3 champs in a single division
don't be ridiculous
the dumb things that people say to suck off Golovkin lol

use some common-sense..... the WBA themselves have admitted that having 3 titles in a single division is rubbish..... and they have since pledged to remove the rubbish "titles"
why p1ss on the sport because you are in love with Golovkin ?
give it a rest man

It's clear you don't want to accept this simple fact because you don't want to acknowledge GGG having the record.
Whatever, you're totally biased.
