Yep, not his fault he ínherited'the title, what's he to say "oh no thanks I'll just leave it for now" .

A lot of other who have been in this situation though have said they wouldn't feel like the champ until they had defended the title then it would be legit. As a Glasgow man I am happy for him, hope he can make a couple of defenses, he's shut a few people up so far, so who knows.
He also seems well grounded and pretty decent which is never a bad thing for the sport to set an example to youngsters.
