    Just heard his comments after the Fury/Cunningham fight. Am I the only one the that thinks Cunningham would beat him? He hasnt fought anyone besides an overweight Liakhovich. His comments were off about Cunningham's abilty vs Fury because he is in the same boat. He is undersized and lacks power. Was taken by surpirse that Cunningham dropped Fury but, no way does Jennings. Imo Cunningham has much better boxing ability than Bryant. If they ever fought UD Cunningham.

    Jennings is a good 15 lbs heavier than Cunningham.

    Jennings is naturally a bigger man than Cunnigham and has more power than Cunnigham. You dont need much power to floor Fury and I bet a harder hitter like Jennings could finish the big man off.

    a reporter at the fight tweeted Jennings and Fury had these words to say.

    "Tyson Fury to Philly's Bryant Jennings: You want to fight me? Sign the dotted line. Jennings: Yeah, you already know"

    this is a fight I wanna see!

    No Fury needs to go ahead and Expose Pulev. Then Wlad will have to fight him. If Fury fight Jennings next mark my word Pulev will be the next easy fight for Wlad. Pulev is just another Euro stiff and if he fights Wlad he will just stand there and let Wlad jab and grab him for 12 rounds without Wlad getting hit.

    Jennings has a bit of power. And he is physically a strong guy, way stronger
    than USS. USS is a far better technician than Jennings but the Jennings physicality would wear on Cunningham. And he'd catch him easier than Fury.

    Fury seems to recover very fast, and I think Jennings is technically short of Cunningham, I'd favour Fury.

    Recover fast against not powerful heavyweights. Can he recover fast if he faces a powerful heavyweight? Would Fury be able to stand up when a real powerful heavyweights hits him like Cunningham did? Remember Fury was already hurt against guys like Firtha or Pajkic. Everything just looks like he will get knocked out when he faces a strong, powerful and big heavyweight! Till now he did not faced such a heavyweight! He is matched very carefully.

    I can't say he will recover against powerful heavys just as much as you can't say he won't. What we have seen of Fury so far is size heart and ability to recover.

    I wouldn't say he's matched too carefully, wins against Cunningham, Johnson, Maddalone and an undefeated Chisora doesn't scream padded resume.

    All fighters who are not powerful heavyweights. I mean matched carefully in the way that Fury did not faced one single puncher or a fighter with at least some power. Johnson? Cunningham? Chisora? All not powerful heavyweights.

    Fury was hit with some hard shots from Chisora, took them well

    I don't think his chin is glass, he just lacks focus and gets sloppy. Not to say he has an iron chin either, I'd say it's ok

    Why is Jennings not fighting anyone???

    Why is he on the shelf until June??

    Long periods of inactivity is what does the most damage to a fighter.

    His management / promoter is terrible.

    Jennings needs to fight every 3 months.
