Why did Jennings perform so much better vs Wlad than Pedvetkin?

[Cutthroat]

Yet people regard Pedvetkin as the much better fighter while Jennings gets laughed off as some sort of bum?

I never really understood it at all. The "he was old" excuse doesn't fly because it was barely 1.5 years apart & he just dominated Pulev (another guy people rank higher than Jennings)

Scorecards for Pedvetkin-Wlad:

Dropped what, 3-4 times?

Really scratching my head at this one, oh and Pulev being regarded as a better fighter too despite his fight with Wlad ending in 5

They will say cause Wlad got older but in the same breath claim it was still a great win for Joshua 2 years later..but the truth is he did better because he simply leaned on Povetkin who is slow as a snail and was to big for Povetkin who struggled with Huck

[_Rexy_]

didn't he just clinch Povetkin the whole match?

wlad-povetkin was the ugliest fight i've seen and half of thos KDs if not most weren't KDs, wlad push povetkin a lot that night, and huged and held and clinch and on and on. just painful to watch. jennings was a boring fight but not as dirty and if i'm not mistaken wlad got a point deducted for holding.

why did maidana perform better than canelo and pacquiao against mayweather? styles make fights.

... and pulev gave wlad some problems, he didnt run away like jennings did.

Yeah, it was the ugliest performance of Wladimir's career. The ref let him tie up and lean on Povetkin all night so he did.

Not all guys age gradually either; I'd definitely say the Wlad that fought Jennings was clearly more shot than the one that fought Povetkin.

Because Klitchko was instructed by Banks to just box while in the Povetkin fight he had to deal with rushing in clinch tactics Povetkin was doing .

Had Klitchko went with Ali Bashirs game plan he would have knocked Jennings out .

Anything else on this thread is fictional .

Povetkin was and IS the better fighter then Jennings ,so what is the point of the thread ? lol

Styles make fights.
Jennings actually has a jab and moves his head.

Jennings don't get the credit he deserves because it would mean having to give Ortiz\Wilder props.

I just see Povetkin as a giant overachiever tbh
He's flawed to ****.
