    How can they count his WBA regular title defenses and keep a straight face? Sturm was the WBA champ until 2012..so the defenses they are counting for GGG is a damn joke..honestly Monzon's record is the only one that matters at 14 as he defended the lineal title 14 times

    The Ring title is the only title that matters.

    Behind that is the IBF, then the Lineal.

    :-( what???Lineal has lost luster,but the point is,your defenses can not count if you are not even the real damn title holder on the damn ABC title you hold

    I agree. I like to point out that WBA regular is not a real title when I can as well. Fight the good fight.

    Golovkin is hanging on by a thread. He's getting so old it won't be long until an up and coming young gun comes along and takes Little g's minor belts.

    Ever since Rocchigianni beat the WBC in court in 2002, the WBC title has become a farce.

    Overrated and protected bums beating other road sweepers.

    All the WBC holders since then shouldn't be counted as champions.

    By replacing Mando's who had to bail from injury? Besides, He beat Soliman who held the IBF belt after beating Sturm. Obviously if you beat a guy who held a belt very recently then you're going to get ranked decently by that organization.

    IIRC, Johnson beat O'Kane to become mandatory. Pretty dreadful rankings they have. Wade was high rated, no doubt. Only problem is that he didn't really beat Soliman. It would've been Soliman had he not been robbed.

    Soliman would've been a better match-up than Wade for sure.
