    with a stoppage of Kamil Szeremeta in the seventh round. Golovkin looked like he came out of a suspended animation chamber from 2012. He hasn’t looked this good since destroying Grzegorz Proksa eight years ago.

    What titles has he won?

    Eubank Jr has won multiple belts across two divisions, most notably the IBO title.

    He first picked up the IBO super-middleweight title in February 2017 by stopping Renold Quinlan.

    He added a notable super-middleweight scalp by defeating James DeGale via unanimous decision in February 2019 to claim the vacant IBO belt again.

    hey guys, chris eubank jr is a multiple champion across 2 divisions cause some random website says so. :lol:

    Different years. The Curtis Stevens fight was in 2013, and Golovkins 7th title defense. The Kovalev fight was at the end of 2019. By that time GGG had already defeated Canelo twice, but was rewarded with corrupt results in his favor. Canelo didn't want anymore of that smoke tell GGG was 40 years old, and he certainly didn't want Benevidez.

    If Golovkin got the correct results in his first fight with Canelo, a universally known win for GGG, who would have been linear Champion? If Cotto would have fought GGG, who would have been linear champion ? If Sergio Martinez would have fought GGG, who would have linear champ? GGG beats them all. You really can't use that excuse, pretending he wasn't the man in the division.

    No GGG will always be among the elite in middleweight history. It's cemented.
    That's because Universum requested the WBA make A new belt, a super belt so Sturm didn't have to fight GGG. Canelo laid down his lineal belt so he couldn't be forced to fight GGG, who wasn't excepting step aside money.

    Mexican athletes always get busted for “PEDs” because of the meat they eat.

    Wow he didn’t fight with the two absolute best fighters at LHW that were naturally two weight classes bigger than him? What a coward. I wonder what that makes GGG who didn’t even move up once let alone fight with a bigger world champion.

    Yeah, what i remember was Kovalev was burnt out and needed a break after a tough fight and only took the fight for the money. It was completely against his better judgment, he wasn't ready for another camp, but he couldn't refuse Canelo money.

    Ringside media for the 2nd fight, had it something like 34 had GGG winning, 15 had it a draw and 2 had Canelo winning. That's it. And it was even worse for the first fight. So you agree with the two journalists that had it for Canelo. I get it, Canelo did better the second fight and didn't back up. Fight night I was more concerned in the first fight with the judging because I knew that if you give Canelo an opportunity, they will rob you blind. The 2nd fight was extremely tough, but GGG kept it tight, then rallied like a Champ the last 5 rounds to get the win. No way should Canelo be ahead in this series. If one wanted to be real generous, you could say GGG won the first fight and the 2nd fight was a draw! Which would have extended his title defense record.
