Wladimir Klitschko vs. Bryant Jennings

[Elroy1]

Speaking of delusions, this is coming from the guy who juxtaposed highlight reels of Joe Frazier and Alex Leapai and actually came away thinking Leapai looked better. Also a guy who on multiple occasions claims that Leapai would easily knock Ali out. It's no secret that this era is very weak.

I'll pose the question to you...Do you believe Jennings is better than Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes,Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis,Sonny Liston and Rocky Marciano because he has some favourable tape measurements against them?

I don't care too much for tape measurements, only for performance.

Mike Tyson: Tyson outboxes and knocks out Jennings who puts up a good fight. It would be a tough battle for Tyson.

Larry Holmes: Jennings UD's him

Muhammad Ali: Never fought any opponent as good as Jennings, would be stopped by Jennings.

Joe Louis: Jennings would outbox him and then KO him in a few rounds

Sonny Liston: Jennings would beat the crap out of him and stop him early without Liston landing many meaningful punches because he is too slow and unco.

Rocky Marciano: Would be knocked out really early.

Only Tyson on your list beats Jennings imo. Larry Holmes is a good opponent.

The rest were greats in there day. But they would be LESS than bums today! That is a fact!

And as for trashing Leapai, all I have to say is this...

Wladimir's WORST opponents and STAY BUSY fights.. GREATER THAN Muhammad Ali's SIGNATURE FIGHTS and BEST opponents! Fact!

AND

"Jennings would be the best opponent Muhammad Ali ever faced, the strongest, the most athletic, the heaviest non-bummy opponent and among the best skilled and fastest too also, he ever faced!"

Muhammad would be a massive underdog against Jennings, a stay busy Wlad opponent. Another fact!

He does have a long reach, so he'd probably be best off trying to use it to catch Wlad from outside. I don't think he can pull that off though.

He'll probably find a little success here and there with his jab but Jennings won't be able to hurt Wlad nor is he going to win the battle of the jabs. Wlad will be in total control using his jab and make sure Jenings can't do anything on the outside. If Jennings try to take the fight to Wlad he'll get KO'd....This is going to turn into a complete mis-match.

Ok, people bumping Jennings a few pegs above his level. Is Klitschko going to get full credit when he knocks him out?

[SlySlickSmooth]

I hope Wilder shows up ringside.

[Cut Man]

At least Jennings is bringing Wlad back to New York for the first time in 7 years

Jennings comes in undefeated and in great physical shape

He is also coming of the back of a 12 round win with a tough opponent in Mike Perez.


I think the fight could go the distance, But Wlad wins by UD

They say once you've seen class you can never forget it. I haven't seen real class from Jennings, doubt he stands a chance with klitschko. Sorry I just don't see it. I like Jennings and I think he is a top ten heavyweight but his only chance would have been waiting and developing another 5-6 fights. I just cant see him doing much of anything.

Same goes for fury. I don't see how people can watch him fight and think he has a chane against wladimir. He cant hit and looks sloppy as can be. He needs a proper trainer to teach him how to box. I watched the second chisora match and was hoping to see him turn a corner, he looked worse than ever. Never have I seen a man dominate a fight and look so unconvincing while doing it.

[FightFan80]

My money is on Klitchko to KO Jennings and then move onto Wilder for a shot at the WBC crown. Should be a fun year for the heavyweights!

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

True, but something else to consider is that Klitschko is 39 and has been through many, many grueling training camps with thousands of hours of sparring. Old age catches up with every boxer sooner or later.

Jennings and Fury are not good enough to beat prime Wladimir, but a boxer's prime doesn't last forever.

You got a point . The question would be : are his training camps more damaging than doing good to his body?

There will come a time where Klitschko will have to adapt his style to his current physical capabilities.

Vitali Klitschko, if he didn't lose his passion for boxing, could have fought until he's 45 without a problem due to his style.

If Wladimir wants to keep his stamina and speed will have to go under the 110kg bar.

Weighing 109 kg , for instance, against a Bryant Jennings is all good. But against Tyson Fury, that would be a different story.

[Warrior2015]

Wlad will destroy Jennings

I'm a fan of the Klitschkos boxing careers, but I strongly oppose their
Anti-Russian politics.

Same location, same result.
