Comments Thread For: Bryant Jennings Ready To Step In, Face Anthony Joshua on 12/10

[TBear]

trust me. In comparison to the other potential opponents, Jennings is pretty damn good!

I like Jennings and wouldnt want to see him lose 3 times, but how often will he get a chance to make the really big money? Assuming he wont be a top top HW.

I also think its a good fight for Joshua's progression if we ignore the fact that he holds a paper title

Agree that Jennings is a better fighter than many of the names being thrown around for title shots. I just think Jennings should be in rebuilding mode right now. To offer him up for another payday could be career suicide.

I also am a bit oldschool with the concept that organizations should not accept title challengers that lost their last or last two fights. If they want a title shot, at least come back and get a win first. But in todays era of easy title defenses, that old concept gave way to $.

What about Hugie Fury or Jarrell Miller?

Miller is high risk, no reward imo. Doesn't make any business sense for Hearn. I guess Fury could work but it doesn't seem like something that they would throw together with only 6 weeks until the fight is supposed to take place.

I think Jennings is trying cash out with some big paydays rather than to prolong his career. Jennings has never taken any tuneup fights once he made it big and has been content sitting on the sidelines waiting for the next big opportunity.

Who else is there ? Molina and Duhaupas take this guy past six imo. Both can **** AJ won't be able to walk forward as he has done his entire career not expecting to be hit in return, he will have to be cautionary chances are they go less than six but as I said I can see AJ getting a good six rounds by either.

Not sure who would be a good warm up fight before Klitschko, Pulev maybe but he's far too dangerous to be considered.

Duhaupas definitely gives him the best fight, but isn't he taken? I have no doubt that Molina would be chinned early. Jennings is a little more tricky as he moves, decent skills and good crafter, but ultimately he'd get cracked too.

They already offered the fight to Pulev and he ducked, shamelessly. It's on video as well. I also don't think it's too much of a risk.

Pulev's defense is one of the worst in the division and his power is average.

Miller is a high risk? Do you know something I don't?

Every time I've seen him he looks absolutely trash

Pulev is likely holding out for a significant payday, he's going to be mandatory as of December isn't he ?

For the IBF? Not sure. Parker was mandatory but dropped out so guess Pulev will have to fight at least two fights to get mandatory shot.

He already fought Chisora in an elimination.

I see he's number 2 in their rankings. You might be right.
