    Definitely
    I've mentioned that
    Although I'd say that was a harsh decision rather than a robbery

    Fair enough. I just don't rate Gassiev at all, minor title or not. Respect your opinion though mate

    Both have been suggested as potential opponents as best I can tell and both would represent an improvement over Gassiev. To my knowledge we don't know the opponent yet

    Again and again...not the point. They wanted the WBA regular route when it was Pulev.

    Besides, "suggesting" and opponent is not the same as signing to fight one.

    It is potentially better if the second belt is held by someone who isn't close to being world class

    There are plenty of guys I would favor to beat a 44 year old Pulev who would be blown out by Joshua

    No, despite the opponent the achievement of holding a belt is better than survival of 12 rounds against AJ

    Tons of fighters win a belt against lacklustre opposition

    Beating a 44 year old Pulev who hasn't been ranked in years means virtually nothing. There isn't any way to put a positive spin on such a win belt or no belt

    It's like the worst final boss ever sure but he achieved Something

    A route to a possible HW reign, possible paydays etc

    Franklin just became a opponent after that

    Losing cannot be a better achievement
