Golovkin: 15 consecutive... KO's in World Championship bouts.

Anyone know the record?

If we’re excluding junior belts from GGG’s resume, such as those bouts he competed in where the WBA “super” world middleweight title was either vacant or being held by another fighter, which is their “proper” championship, then Golovkin has only scored four consecutive KO’s in world title fights.

Personally-speaking, it’s a joke to consider records of this nature, if your stats include junior alphabet titles that have no historical value and carry no prestige whatsoever.

The WBA World Middleweight World Title is of no historical value?

Someone tell this guy what was on the line when Hagler fought Hearns

I've gone to boxrec and there's no "junior" next to his "WBO WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE" defenses.

When he won the title vs Nunez in august 2010, it just said "interim", which became "regular" one month later, when former "regular" WBA champion Sturm was promoted to "super WBA " status by virtue of defeating a bum known as Lorenzo.

You must also know both Sturm then Geale, while holding this "super WBA" title, refused to face Golovkin.
Geale even chose to vacate rather than face him, and Golovkin became "super" without throwing a punch.

But the most interesting thing would be his record ko % in middleweight fights, the best ever, at 90,91%.

Or the fact during 375 fights ( amateur and pro) he was never knocked down.

The WBA "regular" world title did not exist in Hagler's day. Hearns & Hagler competed for the modern day equivalent of the WBA "Super" world middleweight championship.

Great.

Now, go tell Danny Jacobs, Sturm and Joppy and a few others to get their money back from the WBA, who sold them a worthless belt for these past 14 years.

You just can't get in a normal conversation about GGG without bringing Ward, eh ?

Please reminds us how many KO's does your billy goat have ?

The WBA has lost all credibility by having 2 or 3 WORLD champions per division.
I don't care about these so called records when they are as splintered as they are now. It is just not the same as one world champ fighting the best.

In the case of Gennady, it hardly matters.

Geale got destroyed and made to quit in 2, and Sturm....well, Sturm is Sturm.

By the way, nice alt, fergusg

This is merely myth or idle rumour.... and Daniel Geale lost his world title to Darren Barker. He did not vacate the title. Your claim is utter nonsense!

Fergusg/tiny_acres,

you fuc****g tool

Being unified champion was short-lived however as two months after winning the WBA title, Geale was stripped of it for choosing to fight Anthony Mundine in a rematch over mandatory challenger Gennady Golovkin.

[Ricky_]

Gennady Golovkin held the "regular" version of the WBA world title... and during the majority of GGG's title reign of this particular belt, Felix Sturm and Daniel Geale were the holders of the superior WBA "Super" world middleweight championship.

The WBA "regular" world title did not exist in Hagler's day. Hearns & Hagler competed for the modern day equivalent of the WBA "Super" world middleweight championship.

nope you're wrong "super" titles are new and have no historical value.

Here's the boxrec records for you for the WBA World Middleweight title held by Golovkin, as you can see it dates all the back to Marve vs Tommy: http://boxrec.com/title_search.php?titl ... IT=Go[code][/code]

You actually all f*cking fail.

After the Monroe fight it has been 9 consecutive defenses and KOs.

After the Proksa fight, GGG was the highest WBA champion, because the WBA stripped Geale of his WBA Super Champion belt a month later because he fought Mundine. This meant that in the Rosado fight, Golovkin was defending "The WBA Championship". Remember that you become the WBA Super Champ by three ways: 1. Beat someone who is the WBA Champ. 2. Unify your WBA Belt with another organization belt, which makes you WBA Super Champ, 3. Have like many consecutive defenses (I think 5) and then WBA elevates you to WBA Super Champ.

Ok.

By that logic, how many defenses has Joe Louis ?

Dont be ridiculous. Geal vacated WBA super title when he refused to fight Golovkin and did not defend it in his next fight. WBA officially lists Geal as a Super Champ only Aug to Sep 2012.

Havent heard of any one but ggg, that has 15 consecutive ko's in regular world championship bouts. Quite impressive really.

Wilfredo Gomez has 17.
I believe that's the record.

But he did it between being 21 - 25, while Gennady is in his thirties already.

And some of Gomez' KO victims during his title defenses had losing records, and even only 2 fights !!

I got my ovaries aroused and mixed up, which is my bad.

Fixed.

thanks for the info crow (had to shovel through some shit in this thread to get a straight answer).

Do you think Golovkin will beat that record if he stays at MW?

In Boxing, everything can happen.

But i really don't see why he couldn't.
That's only 3 more defenses.

And i'm quite sure he will stay at middle for the next 3 or 4 years.

Hi gents,

from when Golovkin became the WBA's highest world champion at Middleweight (stupid as that sounds) he has made 9 defences. At the beginning he was Interim (which doesn't count) and then he became regular champ underneath a Super-champ (so that doesn't truly count either). When Geale vacated Golovkin became the WBA champ and has since registered his 9: Roasdo-to-Monroe



Thanks

Some of those fight's are BS beating Columbian's jap's that wouldn't be the best fighter in their loungeroom

This thread is the perfect example of why these belts don't mean shit.

I got my world titles mixed up, which is my bad.

Geale dumped his WBA "super" title to engage in a lucrative PPV fight against fellow Aussie Anthony Mundine rather than take the lower paid but greater risk defence against Golovkin.

Geale successfully defended his IBF title against Mundine before losing it to Barker in his very next fight.

Give it up dude. You keep saying you are a Golovkin fan but it's plain as day that you are nothing but a hater. Just be up front about it, don't try and con people into believing you really like Triple G because it is obvious that you don't.

[crow]

Mmm..

So, what are you trying to really say ?

[crow]

Fergusg (on his period):

Golovkin has only scored four consecutive KO’s in world title fights

Fergusg (after his period):

• GGG = Great!

Glad you overcame that unpleasant part of your month.
