Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Return: Jennings Under Serious Consideration

[dan_cov]

It's by no means a great fight, but in fairness to Jennings I think it's hard to compare him with guys like Leapai, Thompson, Mormeck, Pianeta, Wach etc. Only Pulev is better or equal to Jennings. At least Jennings is kind of quick and fought Mike Perez, which many people felt he lost I suppose. Mike Perez isn't really good anyway.

But it all depends on how he would follow that fight up.

I think 2012 or whatever Thompson probably beats him but I do get what you're saying and I do think hes the better fighter than Wach, Mormeck etc
But then Wach for example is huge, hes got alright power, granite chin which we never knew at the time.
Thompson is a big awkward southpaw, slow as but hes cagey and did give Wlad a few problems in the first fight.

They had attributes and some tools to make it sort of interesting I suppose. Jennings has nothing. Can we even give him a punchers chance?
What does he have apart from a huge reach he doesn't even use

I think he'd be better off suited at cruiserweight and I feel he probably wouldn't even be a big factor there. He might win a title but no way he beats Rakhim, Drozd, Hernandez, Makabu and co
There is no intrigue here, Wladimir will hurt him badly inside 5. Really Wlad is far above and beyond this guy he should really blast him out inside 2.
Its a stay busy fight at the very best.

Are you for real Hommie? The guy has fought 66 professional fights. He has taken the zero of 10 fighters and has over 30 fights against top 30 opponents..

So what the fuck do you mean "the path of least resistance."

You are either ******ed or a dumb fucking troll.. Either way you should be ashamed of yourself.

Glazkov a guy who got his doors boxed off by Malik Scott, beat an ancient shot to pieces Adamek who in truth was never a very good heavyweight anyway and has been done for years and years - Szpilka did a better job. Glazkov just arguably lost to Derrick Rossy.

He is ranked top 5. Should Wladimir fight him? I mean that would be fine wouldn't it because after all hes a top 5 fighter apparently.

What about Chisora? Christian Hammer? Yeah he should fight these sort of guys, all top 10. Set a record for fighting the most top 10 fighters.

These ranking systems are so ridiculous and corrupt and people do nothing but use them to justify their favourite fighters cherrypicking weak links.
''Oh he top 10 doe''

Bryant Jennings sucks as an opponent for Wladimir. It does nothing at all for his legacy but add another title defense against a bum who doesn't belong in the same ring.

Ok he's taken the 0 from many fighters. Like Brock, Pianeta, Wach, Pulev etc. sounds nice on paper. Who did they actually beat that was any good? I mean, their combined best win is Ustinov for heaven's sake. Some of them like Wach, Pianeta, Mormeck etc aren't even ranked in the top 20! So I'm asking you, are you for real? Are you ******ed or dumb or a troll?

When I talk about the path of least resistance, I'm simply asking - when is the last time Wlad had a decent voluntary defence? Who was it? that's all I'm asking. Samuel Peter in 2010? A shot, overweight, struggling with fat former middleweights Sam Peter who him and his brother had already smashed to bits? Wupti do.

His last decent voluntary defence was against Eddie Chambers in early 2010.

I completely agree with everything you said, though I have never thought much of Thompson or Wach or any of those guys. I do believe Jennings would beat 2012 Thompson though.

But yeah, it wouldn't be an interesting fight at all, but it would be a massive step up from recent voluntary defences - which isn't really saying much.

Just checked up, Eddie Chambers wasn't even a voluntary either, which means we have to go all the way back to Ruslan Chagaev of 2009 and then after we're looking at Hasim Rahman and Lamont Brewster who was half blind or whatever.

[KO'er]

Mike Perez was soundly beating Jennings before Perez got really tired 6 rounds in and Jennings took over. I don't think Jennings would have any chance against Klitschko.

Absolutely rubbish fight, its getting very hard to defend Wladimir.

Mormeck, Thompson rematch, Leapai, Wach, Pulev, Pianeta now Jennings?

Pay Wilder to step a side and fight Stiverne, rematch Povetkin, fight Fury if he beats Chisora is how it should be whilst Jennings gets another fight in, a real test like Takam!

It would do a lot more for both rather than fighting a very raw & inexperienced Jennings.

Right OK, Dan: the same Takam who was recently stopped by Povetkin and who lost to Gregory Tony (20-6)?

Fighting Jennings makes a lot of sense - it expedites a unification bout.

Povetkin would destroy Jennings too only unlike Takam he would not be remotely competitive and I've not seen the Tony fight which was what about 7 years ago or something, definitely way before Takam hit his peak, I wouldn't be surprised if he was robbed in that fight baring it was in France and Tony was big over there from his kickboxing days.

Fighting Jennings makes little sense he has no title, nothing. He is nothing but a mediocre CW operating at HW.
Povetkin rematch makes far more sense as does Fury should he beat Chisora again, Stiverne.
Jennings is noway near ready (he never will be tbf) he had no amateur career and has been a pro for about 5-6years, he needs experience.
I don't mean to be overly harsh on him but what does he do well? anything at all?

Wrong. Jennings is the WBC mandatory. Beating him removes another barrier to a unification bout.
