    Wait, the WBA world title wasn't on the line in the Brook fight. The Canelo fight was GGG's 20th WBA world title defense, so the Martirosyan fight was his 19th WBA title defense. The IBF and WBC world titles were on the line against Brook, and that was also a world title defense for GGG, but not his WBA title. Anyway, you did the right thing by pointing this out, so we've clarified everything. Thank you.

    No problem, i also forgot that the Brook fight wasn't for the WBA title, but yeah, it was a title fight none the less.

    I'm going to start with the champs who won at higher weight classes except Barkley and Hearns. So you've got Archie Moore, Tiger, Toney, RJJ, McCallum, Hopkins and Canelo. Then add Monzon, Hagler and Sugar Ray.

    GGG has more longevity feats at MW then Canelo but for me 154 is traditionally MW and during their shared reign a lot of the best would be MWs were at 154.
