Who has the WBA belt at 160? GGG has the IBF, Super WBA, and interim wbc Jacobs has the WBA BJS has the WBO Canelo has the WBC I thought there were only 4 major belts, I think that GGG should face Jacobs first to take his belt away, why is Jacobs the Champion? Then get Canelo's belt in September even if Canelo just want to give it to him. BJS would be the last belt to take.
golovkin ist the WBA superchamp , jacobs holds the "regular" belt. it is just a paper belt that the WBA can generate more money. the highest status holds GGG
On the contrary , HBO does not want to do business with Haymon remember. They were salty about Mayweather getting that HBO deal and banished Haymon and Golden Boy over to Showtime with him. For a while when everything was cool Showtime was killing HBO as far as boxing goes. 2013 They had **** on lock.
Golovkin has the belt, Jacobs and Brand have the paper ones. It's like comparing Fury's belt with the ones Chagaev and Ruiz have...
HBO doesn't want BS cards like ones on PBC, and Haymon has always insisted on defining cards, while HBO wants to have a final word. As a response, Haymon normally doesn't let his fighters fight on HBO.
The funny thing about this thread is GGGs MW defense record, he only has 4 defense's of a REAL Title yet people will claim he's breaking some record when 80℅ of them are in defense of the same type title Jacobs currently has the irony.
Most fans don't care if it's the WBA world belt or the WBA super belt or the WBF belt But Golovkin has the only real WBA belt In the winter of 2009/2010 Golovkin was the mandatory for Sturm's WBA belt (the only existing WBA belt at that time in if remember correctly) Sturm and Golovkin's Promoter UBP did everything to prevent that fight Sturm because he knew Golovkin would knock him out and UBP because they thought Sturm was more marketableatsch Sturm paid the WBA to make him superchamp so he could duck Golovkin. At least at the end of 2010 Sturm should have fought his mandatory from this time i rate Golovkin as the true and only WBA champ Around that time Golovkin ko'ed Tapia in Kazakhstan If we rate this as his title win he has 14 title defenses (all by KO) In June 2011 Golovkin ko'ed Ouma for the WBA belt. That was 1,5 years after he became the WBA mandatory challenger. If we rate this as his title win he has 13 title defenses (all by KO)
They trained in the same gym here in Hamburg in the past Sturm isn't that stupid he knew how good Golovkin is that why they bought Sturm the superchamp status from the WBA in 2010 so he was able to avoid GGG Why do you think Sturm tired to unify vs Geale rather than fight his mandatory ? His plan was to lay down the WBA super belt and keep the IBF belt. That's why he fought an IBF eliminator vs Soliman next Sturm is the P4P longest GGG ducker
So is Gigi. He got his vacant paper WBA belt from washed-up Jr Middle Kassim Ouma....a guy that was KO'd in ONE round by Agustin Silva. Lil g got his paper WBC title from Rubio...a guy that was vaporized in 30 seconds by Kofi Jantuah. 30 seconds
Ouma was a former light middleweight beltholder who went the distance with Taylor Rubio has 50 Ko wins, ko'ed ex champ Lemieux and went 9 Rounds with Pavlik while Golovkin Ko'ed him in 2 rounds
Rubio was blasted out in 33 seconds. Ouma was KO'd in ONE round and was shot to hell when he fought gg. Roman Karmazin dropped Ouma several times...GGG couldn't get him off his feet. Angulo wrecked Rosado in 2 rounds.
