    Would Jennings beating Wladimir Klitschko......

    Be one one of the greatest HW upsets in recent time? No one is giving Jennings a shot. The western world is craving for more HW champs, could it potentially even reach Douglas vs Tyson level?

    Don't know about the biggest upset. Tyson was undefeated and a total beast when Douglas beat him. Wlad is a beast too but he has been beaten before, although not in ten years. It would be a shock to me after his longevity, but bigger than Douglas-Tyson, Chavez-Randall I, McCall-Lewis I, Duran-Laing, Barkley-Hearns I? I don't think it would be as shocking as those. Jennings is a high rated contender and unbeaten.

      It definitely would be huge. I don't expect it to happen though. Even Wladimir said Jennings is like Rocky Balboa lol. I just don't see any scenario with Jennings winning. W Klitschko will have to age considerably in one night for that to happen.

        Would be a huge upset but nah not on that level.

        Jennings is Top 5 I believe.

        Don't think Douglas was Top 10, not sure.

        I know Rahman and McCall weren't.

            no its not an upset because clinchko sucks. in an honest sport without clinching jennings would probably be the favorite but we know that won't happen and he won't even be allowed to throw punches so its a waste of time. prepare to be disappointed like in every wlad fight.

              Wlad's age of nearly 40 years old, would be a huge part of the conversation as to why he lost.

              Tyson was 24 years old and in his prime, undefeated.

              I give Jennings no chance, but Wlad being 38 waters down any upset. Like Mayweather and Marquez also. Any upsets against them at this point, is watered down because they are almost 40. 40 is not an age for athletes even though there are exceptions, it's still seen as an advanced age for sports except Golf.

                I don't think it would be such a massive upset. Jennings is a top 5 contender. He's undefeated, coming off a win over Mike Perez. He has a reach advantage over Wlad, He's 8 Years younger and he will come to the ring in great physical shape.

                Wlad will be the hot favorite but Jennings does have a chance.

                  I don't know if it will be one of the biggest of all time because I'm not that big on boxing history, but I can safely say it would be the biggest high profile upset since I started following boxing (2006).
