Way too soon to get in the ring with Wladimir Klitschko .......

Easy "W" for Wlad

[GoldenGloveLove]

The point of him earning his place as one of the top contenders in the world-which he's done-is to try to be champion. What is too soon to fight Wlad? Wlad's a 39 year old talking about retiring. Nobody who is a top ten contender should worry about too soon. They should worry about too late! Anyway, By-By in perfect shape like he always is.

Easy work for Wlad

Age isn't that relevant in this instance, experience is -- And when you're this green, you don't want to squander your only opportunity at the top-dog.

I bet this doesn't even go five rounds .... Because Wlad is going to smother\hold Jennings to the point when his offense is completely stifled. Then its right-hand hammer heaven to the KO.

Entirely too green:

Jennings is in excellent shape. It's going to be tough for him to earn a victory but I know he's going to give it his all. Hopefully, there won't be a lot of holding and pushing down on the back of the neck on Wlad's part. I just want to see a good fight.

I understand where you're coming from but think about the heavyweight division at the moment. What fighters have tons of experience? If we look at the top 10, guys like Wilder and Perez aren't that experienced. Fury has a good amount of experience. Wlad already fought Povetkin and Pulev. There really aren't too many guys that have loads of experience imo. There's no reason for Jennings to wait. He may miss his opportunity.

I didn't see him practicing getting up from knockdowns in any of those pictures.

Lmao what's up with his Devon Alexander-like bicep?

Age is completely relevant in this instance. Because what I'm saying isn't that experience isn't a problem in winning. I'm saying he is young enough to rebound just like many have in the past from taking a step up and getting beaten if he does as he's likely to do and that if he wants a shot at a big money or big legacy fight-that shot is very likely to go away soon if he wants to get two or three more fights at a high level with other contenders. That shot will be gone.

So age is very, very relevant when THE big fight in the division is a 39 year old man talking about retirement. From that angle it is 100% relevant and my main point. He earned a shot at being among the best contenders to not have a shot already and he was given that opportunity. To not take it would defeat the point of doing this for a living. Losing does not usually mean an end to your career at his age. Losing bad or otherwise. If he does so much as put up a good fight, his stock has no less than increased and he's got money and some fame for his troubles. He SHOULD take the shot. If we disagree on that, it's fine, but we can't disagree on the point that not taking the shot now risks not ever getting the shot. Because that part is clear.
