Wladdy KO vs Jennings in March at Barclay's Center.I sat with Bryant at the GGG vs Maclin fight and he told me that "ultimately he knows that he has to fight Wlad as he is the champ."
Who you got and why?
Jennings is basically the same size as "Big" George Foreman when he fought Ali.
Jennings is much bigger than George Foreman who fought Ali.
Jennings is about 2 inches shorter. But he is about 10lbs heavier and much leaner/more athletic than George, meaning he is far stockier.
The picture comparison is striking.
One of the many reasons why the OTNB are the dumbest posters on the Scene.
To clarify though, Foreman is a naturally much bigger man than Jennings. He has a heavier bone structure. The training was so bad in Foreman's first era that he basically ran himself down.
If Foreman fought during what would have been his physical prime (his 30's), and subjected to modern training methods as today, he would have fought I think at an optimum 235lbs, similar to someone like Riddick Bowe or Buster Douglas, maybe even 240lbs.
Unfortunately we never got to see the best of Foreman.

By is big, no doubt. I've been next to him. He's a hulk. People don't even realize. A little short next a Klitschko but definitely not little! No question about that. Tends to weigh about the same as Wilder and he's ripped to f##k so it ain't fat and the reach is actually wider than Wlad's. Man's got super size dimensions.
I kind of wish Stiverne had just accepted Wlad's offer instead of blowing a year negotiating with Wilder. His chances would have been the same as Jennings chances (IMO slightly worse), but it would have been symbolically meaningful to unify. It would have also left Wilder to face Wlad at some point. Now he's likely to be delfated by Stiverne instead, who will in turn be Leapai'd by Wlad.
Jennings is a "dangerous opponent" and all against anyone whose surname isn't Klitschko, but he has little chance here.
Yeah, very credible opinion/post.. But no more Green K left for you :( lol
Nobody who started boxing in 2009 no matter how much talent they have is likely gonna beat Wladimir until Wlad starts fighting old. He's looking older but he's not fighting like it yet. I think he's going to bang Jennings out in about six and I'm probably this site's biggest Jennings supporter and I think he's earned this opportunity.

May not have agree with you at all about Mayweather, but I agree with everything you said in this post about every guy. Jennings is still a man to be reckoned with for other contenders, but Klitschko's literally got three times the amount of pro fights and like ten times the amateur fights and in total years...like...about twenty years more boxing experience all together. It's a crazy difference in experience and the only thing to offset it is the possibility of Wlad losing his edge from age.
Wladimir, obviously.
Jennings is alright, but i'd like to see him fight the winner of Stiverne-Wilder first (he's mandatory, after all). And Wlad, the winner of Chisora-Fury.

Fan of both, so I feel bad for Jennings. Great guy and one of the hardest working and most disciplined contenders BY FAR. But I don't have any belief he has more than a shot in the dark chance against Klitschko. Jennings earned a shot as much as anybody that hasn't already had it from his win over Perez, and his resume of fringe contenders, prospects, journeymen and any gatekeeper types is really solid for the number of fights he had. He took a very respectable path to where he's at and did everything the right way. He's kept it Philly real! But Wlad's still seen it all and done it all and hasn't slipped enough to get it from Jennings 99% sure of that. But props to By-By if he goes for it. He's a good contender. Nervous for his health tho'.
Klitschko KO Jennings in 4 OR "Night of the running man"
Jennings lacks the range, power, weight, strength, chin to deal with Klitschko.
He is pretty slick, extremely athletic and has good skills and decent speed.
I just don't think he has enough to be able to breach the defence of Klitschko without getting hurt.
OR
Jennings might survive longer by fighting tentatively in spurts and trying to pot shot. Unfortunately I still don't think Wladimir will let him run around for 12 rounds and he doesn't have Haye like power to hurt him.
Does Wlad get a cut of the German/Russian tv money in addition to the HBO contract? The rumored 3 million HBO is putting up seems like pocket change compared to what Wlad was raking in for the Germany fights.
