Yep you are correct. Everyone seems to have a belt these days.
It has become a joke.
I think everyone agrees that GGG is the man to beat at middleweight.
But I sure as hell don't know when that really happened. It was not in my opinion when he first won an interim title.

Geale even chose to vacate rather than face him, and Golovkin became "super" without throwing a punch.
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!
Andre Ward recently confronted Tom Loeffler in front of the media for the lies that Abel Sanchez was perpetuating to the media, as Team Golovkin claimed that the S.O.G. was "running scared" of their fighter. The K2 managing director could not defend Sanchez's claims.
It is worth noting that since Ward's confrontation with Loeffler, which Tom himself confirmed took place (as he couldn't really deny it), Team GGG are no longer accusing Ward of any wrongdoing, instead they now cite economic reasons to explain why Golovkin cannot face Ward.
Simply put: if Team Golovkin repeatedly lied about Ward, is it unreasonable to believe that they have lied about other fighters too?
I believe that K2 regularly submit low-ball offers to the big names that they'd like their man to face and then claim “duck” when their paltry purses are declined.
wrong ferg, geale was stripped of the WBA title for not facing GGG, he chose to fight mundine instead, thats why he was stripped, he held the IBF at the same time as the WBA, he lost the IBF to barker, crow is right

I’ve already conceded my mistake (read my other posts on this thread), but if you feel inclined… keep posting comments about this error time-and-time again, because you’re the fourth person so-far to point this out.
Hey Ferg you made a mistake.
Maybe the 5th time someone reminding you will make it sink in
I very much doubt that, I find it hard to imagine that there's any real boxing fans out there who wouldn't appreciate GGG's gifts - unless he had screwed their wife/mother/sister/boyfriend etc, and had a personal vendetta.

For some, him being half-Russian or coming from a post-Soviet country is enough to hate. For others, his desire to beat their favorite fighters is the reason to hate.

Yeah, I guess it's easy to forget how many morons there are out there.
