I keep seeing people claim Golovkin has 15 world title defences, but a lot of these were while there was a WBA Super Champion and Golovkin was WBA Regular Champion. If you count these then Jacobs must be the current WBA Champion right now, if not then Golovkin is the Champion. Either way Golovkin doesn't have 15 defences as WBA Champion.

Jacobs belt is nothing more than a participation ribbon that charges 3 percent of your salary. -
Sturm wasn't willing to face his mandatory Golovkin so he paid the WBA a nice sum of money and was declared the super champ:

In that case the WBA super champion Sturm was not the WBA middleweight champion. Golovkin on the other hand is super champ cause he also holds other major titles in the division so he is the real WBA middleweight champion.
Jacobs is just a belt holder.Comment

Not true, Golovkin held the IBO middleweight title for more than three years before he was elevated.Originally posted by Isaac Clarke View PostComment
