Comments Thread For: Shaw: Jennings gets Stiverne-Wilder winner by early '15

[BostonGuy]

Cunningham fight IMO. He's a name, his daughter can use the money and he gave a great showing this year in, I think it was, nbc's best show.


Is Cunningham from Philly? I don't remember

I don't like the Cunningham fight - Steve's a great guy, decent fighter but not true hw. A win over him doesn't ready Jennings for facing Klitschko, Wilder or any of the other taller fighters in the division.

Jennings is not a top level heavyweight. He's B class and so is Perez. I wouldn't give either guy much of a chance against Stiverne. Wilder is still truly untested, regardless of his crazy knockout streak. There must be some real power there but he's never had to fight anyone equally as powerful or with solid boxing skills. That fight against Malik Scott was bogus and doesn't prove anything. It was just too suspect a stoppage. Jennings should take on someone like Chris Arreola. It won't get him closer to a world title but it might be a closer fight than his current prospects.

I agree, Jennings is not a top hw at this point. He's in great shape, has decent skills and power, but he doesn't do anything that really sets him apart from his peers. I wish he was a little more aggressive with his power shots and developed a outside fight game. He's good fighting on the inside but he doesn't really use his long reach to his advantage
