    Fury said today he is ready for Wlad or Vitali.

    Wlad has to fight Povetkin before February 23 I believe or he's stripped.

    You cant fight Jennings and call it anything but bullying an inexperienced kid. Jennings has 16 fights!

    Fury said TODAY he was ready for either Klitschko. He's been saying the same thing on Twitter the last 2 months.

    Solis in shape is better than fighting 16 fight late starter Jennings who is just starting to show his skills.
    Jennings is a kid.



    WBA gives Wladimir until 2/27 to fight Povetkin



    By Dan Ambrose: The World Boxing Association is giving IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (58-3, 50 KO’s) until February 27th to defend his title

    I agree.

    Yo, if Jennings wants it, what can Wlad do? Should Wlad fight someone less relevant out of pity?

    In shape Solis would be MUCH better than Jennings.

    Fighting Jennings after Wach is a joke. You have Povetkin, Arreola, Pulev, Helenius, Adamek, Fury, Solis, etc.

    I hope this fight happens, and I'd actually give Jennings a decent chance:

    The type of fighter that has a chance against Wlad is one who will smother him on the inside, with a high workrate & lots of body punches. - Esp a fighter with a great uppercut, and you DO remember the Tupou fight, yes?

    Plus, Jennings is fairly short (6'2" I think?) so Wlad would be punching down, which is a disadvantage, yet Jennings has an 84" reach and so can probably reach Wlad's chin, even getting past that big jab. Even if the ref allows Wlad to clinch all night, Jennings could still score from the outside.

    Last: Jennings has been getting steadily better with each fight, and his power also seems to be improving. He is FAR from the clumsy, light-fisted fighter some remember him as.

    Man, I'd LOVE to see this fight. It's a no-brainer for Jennings, since even if he loses, he wouldn't lose.

    Jennings isn't ready yet he would have the beat someone like Helenius first before he should consider fighting Wlad

    Oh nonsense. I say, jump into the fire & see if you're slick enough to not get burned!

    Again, even if Jennings loses, it doesn't hurt his career at all. - it might even help it, giving him exposure to a large Euro audience that probably doesn't give him much thought. Plus, even in a loss, think of the experience he'd gain.

    But Jennings does really have enough time left he started late and he has absolutely no chance against Wlad so it would just be a paycheck and a little bit of exposure in europe and it depends on how he losses a vicious knockout loss isn't good for your career not only on the business side of it but also mentally and physically the only way he should take the fight is if he is 100% sure that he can go the full 12 rounds and that's questionable

    I have no problem him fighting Jennings, honestly he (Jennings) more then likely is going to be knocked out by wilder with in a year anyways, but I believe if wlad fights a American, he should fight in America, I think it would help promote himself here....

    Some one typed solis, I think that would be a great fight, an no question posing some danger,

    Its better than that slob Solis, who did precious little to earn his first shot, and nothing to earn a second.

    Though I agree, it is poor.

    Povetkin is THE fight. Pulev is ready, and if Helenius felt recovered enough from his injury, I would say he would be better.

    I agree 100% with everything here except Helenius. I'd rate a Chagaev rematch over a Helenius fight.

    This is a very poor fight. Even worse than wach which I didnt think would be possible.

    Fury and Price will work their way into mando positions but atleast approach them. If all else fails helenius would do.
