    Jennings is tough as hell though and is probably the most skilled out of all of them since the others are more about being punchers. Jennings can box well and is tough enough to take any of these guys to a close decision. I actually think he's a bad match up for Wilder and Fury atleast if he can avoid a big shot. Povetkin would be an absolute war. Id love to see them fight. It'd be the closest thing the current divison could get to a Ali/Frazier kind of fight. Not because either are on there level or even close nit just the style clash. Povetkin would come straight at him like Frazier and Jennings would actually **** back like Ali but be boxing at the same time.

    I just see how Cunningham actually was giving Fury fits until he got caught and think Jennings could do the same. Wilder is powerful but again Stiverne was small but Jennings is a bigger guy and can box as well as Stiverne so I think he'd be a much tougher fight.

    That's why I'm torn on who to pick. I could see Fury smothering them all too and winning with dirty boxing in the trenches. That's one reason I like Fury in a fight against Wlad and think he will give him hell. Fury is a bully in the clinch so I don't think Wlad will bully him like everybody else and I want to see how Wlad reacts because Fury will get down and dirty if he wants to clinch.
    The thing with Fury is that he's looked absolutely horrific at times. Been Kd'd by some pretty average fighters (even before Cunningham). But just recently he seems to have sorted himself out a bit. He's still an awkward mover but he does move, and he can punch off that movement too. Plus like you say he has shown he can get rough if he needs too. Problem is he does some dumb stuff like leaning in over his front foot and sticking his chin in the air which makes me think hes waiting to be KO'd.

    Against the guys in this hypothetical tourney though I can see him losing concentration at some point and getting sparked. I reckon at the end of his career we'll look back at Fury as an 'on his night' type fighter. Probably get some good wins, but with no consistency... Or he could just be **** lol. who knows

        I chose Wilder but that is with strings attached, clearly Wilder needs to work on stamina and not rely on power alone.

        I like Wilder but he has to keep working if he wants to be a force that lasts an era and not just a season.

        Right now, I still think Wlad beats Wilder right now and I don't even like Wlad, that being said I still think he can keep Wilder on the end of that jab until Wilder gasses out.

          Wlad is still the king until proven otherwise obviously. He'd be favourite over every one of these guys.

            I think povetkin, with a fair ref, can beat wlad.

              Maybe, I dont think a fair ref will happen though due to WK being the reason everyone is getting paid.
