    That dude Bryant Jennings is 32 years old. Not fought over a year when he lost to 45 years old Luis Ortiz.

    Jennings is really wasting his prime now. C'moon 32 years old he's soon 35 and losing his testosterone and recovery speed from training. Jennings has potential to make some exciting fights. He could be good test for guys like Wilder, Parker or AJ. Its a shame guy in his prime doesn't want to fight. He sparred Povetkin yes, but thats not a fighting. Jennings needs fights for staying active.

    with back to back losses jennings will be lacking confidence.

    he has reached his limits and can make money as a stepping stone but not have enough firepower to beat wilder/joshua/parker/

    could beat oquendo/ already beat spilzka in hindsight a good win although spilzka fought lackluster / thats not jennings fault

    he is a solid fighter just lacks anything a bit extra be it speed/power/chin/abilty v the big heavys when his size makes him at a disadvantage.

    85inch reach,l doesn't use it, not a hard hitter, good stamina, okay chin. Not exactly possessing great ring IQ. I never rated him as a top fighter, klitchko was terrible against him.

    He's a part time fighter anyway.

    He might have a chance against Parker, considering how vulnerable he looked against Ruiz.

    He's not wasting his prime given that his prime has already past.

    Always felt he would beat Wilder but obviously Wilder won't step in the ring with him. If WBC suspends Povetkin he would be a good candidate to go to Russia and fight Povetkin.

    Was hoping hed bounce back by now. Losing is part of the process and he seemed to have the mind to actually develop off his losses. Guess i was wrong.

    I can imagine hes the kind of fighter that finds it tough to get decent fights.
    Dangerous enough to be a threat, but brings absolutely no money to the table.

    I've wanted to see Wilder vs Jennings for ages, hope he can come back put some wins together and get a shot.

    I've asked him about a ring return and he's not genuinely interested at this moment.

    He made 7 figures v Wlad and got close to 300K v Ortiz and more than 150K v Spilka.

    He's not gonna be taking 50K to go to Bulgaria, EVER.
    He's not gonna fight Ustinov for 30K
    The type of offers he's getting are journeyman/hasbeen offers and he made more than what Sauerland offered for the IBF elminator and what Ustinov's team offered combined to spar Potvetkin for 6 weeks.

    Stfu, there's zero chance you believe Jennings would have a prayer v DW, he would be laid out within 8, the hate is real on here. so much hate it makes fans wish the impossible could happen
