Gennady Golovkin title defenses question

[Batman]

In my opinion

But it raises questions, was he elevated to WBA super champion before the Geale fight and it was a defense or was he fighting Geale to gain a vacated super championship? I assume he was elevated before and it was his first major title defense

If you are fighting for a vacant title then it isn't a defense, you can't be elevated to it before you have won it

Then some want to drop it because he didn’t defend the WBA super(his highest number of defenses) against Brook. I would think that doesn’t matter because he defends other major titles in that fight so Brook should count towards major title defenses. It’s major title defenses not a single major title defenses

If you are defending one belt or 4 belts it is still a defense, it counts

Then, the draw, it seems some don’t count that. But he didn’t lose his title so in my eyes he defended it. So that should count too.

You walk away with the belt, the belt is still yours, you have defended it, if you were defending a castle and a truce was called after 6 days and everyone walked away with no one being the victor, the castle is still yours, you don't give half of it away, the belt was still GGG's, it counts...plus he didn't draw, he won the fight.

The only time I wouldn't say it counted as a defense is if for whatever reason it was declared a no contest
