    Ya i agree with your ****ysis regarding his size in general but against Klychko he would look just as outsized and outstrengthed as everyone else and the same complaints from fans would be heard after he gets KTFO.

    Which vid and about what? I know he favorited my Shifting video. Seems strange since i'v never heard him mention a boxing forum poster before or even him elude to reading boxing forums although i'm sure he does.

    Dwyer is weird man i remember him going on and on about how elite Geale was claiming he was a special fighter after the Sturm win and insisting the same even after the Barker loss. After GGG massacred him it's a nothing win and he's way more critical of GGG than he used to be.

    couldn't he have said "I want no part of KLitschko" instead.

    I'd rather not see this. Jennings wll get battered horribly. Even I can't hype this guy.

    Fury after he becomes mando next week. After that fight takes place , the winner of Steverne vs Wilder will be ready.

    That is the only direction he should be going in.

    Jennings hasn't even had 20 fights under his belt and only started boxing last week ffs.

    Jennings is definitely green imo. He could use six to ten more fights to me. And yet, HBO would still accept that fight over Briggs.

    In the end, none of this matters because it's more than likely going to be Briggs anyway. HBO was pushing for Jennings, not K2.

    If Jennings doesn't like the contract/terms then, hopefully HBO decides to push for the Fury-Chisora II winner. That fight makes sense and could generate good money.

    I wonder how much Jennings would get for the winner of the Stiverne-Wilder fight

    So you think he can't? :blood
    The Weterweight Tyson is da bomb! Look how much smaller the real Tyson was as a lot of his opponents and he knocked them to Bolivian. So why wouldn't Porter be able to do what his bigger sized equivalent did?! :bart

    Never saw him commenting about it which video is it in? "Off Road Golovkin Kovalev"?

    Honestly i'v never though about it's effectiveness in a possible Ward matchup specifically but in general i'd say its more useful against a mover than someone just standing in front of you. Using it to close distance on occasion just to give them a different look and cutting off the ring if he's working the perimeter. It would have been useful as hell for that cement foot Canelo when Lara kept making him look like an idiot. He must have failed to cut off the ring and missed that right hand 50 god damn times while allowing Lara to sneak by.

    Pretty sure i watched a recent video of his where he was criticizing Golovkin for not fighting Martinez, Quillin and possibly even Sturm....i don't believe i finished watching the rest.

    In general he's a good commentator and pretty astute, has genuine enthusiasm for the sport including the technical side and him delving into it and breaking down his views is more than can be said for most which is great. But sometimes he says stuff that is completely inexplicable and you're left wondering how the hell he pieced that together inside his brain.

    One thing can't be disputed though....even Hitler loving cats are cute. We may not want to publicly admit it but deep down everyone feels the same. I suspect the authority in his voice while making speeches may play a role too, in spite of acting uninterested, independent and aloof truth is cats are deeply submissive. They just need a strong leader to bring it out of them like females who act b1tchy and confrontational but in reality they're just testing you to see if you'll put them in their place or let them walk all over you like a beta poosy.

    I'm not making any accusations cuz Dwyer seems like a good guy but imagining him in that room late at night immeresed in darkness while secretly listening to Hitler speeches in German which he cannot understand, big earphones for himself and tiny neon green ones for his cat, so that he can practice mimiking the tone and authority in Adolph's voice for his own renderings in court to make his proclomations more impactful is something i could envision. Any edge for the win baby, any edge.

    EDIT - Oh damn he has a whole video solely about it, missed that somehow. He butchers my name, no surprise, it's all good though.

    Finally learning, eh???? I was expecting "Jennings would kick his ass, and Wlad won't fight him"

    Jennings defeated two undefeated prospects/contenders this years in Perez, and Spzilka so while he may of had a late start he's definitely a legit HW, and a force in the division. I'd favor him over both Stiverne, and Wilder at the moment. So it's a legit fight to make, even if you think Jennings isn't ready and that he needs to improve.... So he may have a lot of room for improvement he is a top HW at the moment so a fight with Wlad is by no means farcical. :good

    Jennings is a workhorse and I liked what I saw in the Szpilka fight but then he goes on and wins by a damn point against plodding Perez in a dreadful fight.

    Wladimir butchers Jennings early. And I would not be surprised if Jennings decides to dogde this one out and go the Wilder/Stiverne route.

    As I recall, that fight was a stinker, and you might be overselling Mike Perez.

    Its the best fight for Klitschko to make now!

    Wilder and Stiverne are blocking themself, who knows how long this goes..

    Fury and Chisora are interesting too, but who knows how the fight goes and if the winner is able to fight in early 2015 (possible injuries due to their upcoming fight)

    Briggs???? ähm no..

    Wladimir destroys him in one-sided fashion. Jennings is nothing special really and barely got through against Perez thanks to the referee.
