Gennady Golovkin title defenses question

[Ron Swanson]

But the defense record is about “major title defenses” the WBA regular title isn’t the major title. That is the WBA super title, which he didn’t defend until Geale. I get your point though that even this one is hypocritical because it shouldn’t be on the line by what they said before. I’m just trying to get at the real number of major title defenses.

We agree a draw counts?
We agree it doesn’t matter which major title is on the line, just that a major title is on the line?
And we agree winning a title is not defending a title?

Just saying I don't get stuck on the wba sub-major categories so not much help . Gives the whole mess and trinket gimmick credence and also fills their pockets with sanctioning fees which seems it's only intention. I mean 'regular..major..super' are we ordering coffee here or what? They may be the oldest but you're talking about an organization who continued to rank a dead fighter once. Hopkins defended a single belt at 160 if that's the record were talking about. Joe Louis?

On draws yes they should count as fight was concluded. Initial win should definitely not count as a defense.

But that's sort of my point. They have all these sub categories And we should ignore them. The super champ if they have one at the time is the only champ.
