    Similar power, maybe Jennings is a slightly harder puncher but Jennings is stronger and the natural HW so he would be able to impose his will on Povetkin and land some heavy shots. Naturally Huck is the smaller man and for that reason I think he PROBABLY doesn't hit as hard. I think Jennings is the better heavyweight overall compared to Huck and for that reason I think he would beat Povetkin who I don't rate that high at HW anyway. I expect him to get steamrolled by Wlad which isn't really a horrible thing.

    It seems that I have either overrated Scott or he has no heart, or he just didnt come in the fighter that I remember schooling Glazkov. Povetkin would beat Scott at this point imo.

    People overrate Scott quite a bit. He's basically an elite-level professional sparring partner. He's been sparring partner for Lewis, Adamek, Chambers, Povetkin, and several other high level fighters. But when you have 2 legitimate KOs in 20 fights as a HW against average fighters, it's obvious you're nothing special. He fought Tupou just to give Jennings (another one of his sparring partners) a look, and Tupou quit because of an injury.

    He has a phenomenal snapping jab, but other than that, he's nothing special. TKOed easily.

    Jennings probably gets TKOed as well.

    Yeah, they probably could. Povetkin is nothing special.

    He would beat Jennings definitely, not sure about Povetkin Scott didnt handle the pressure of Chisora aswell as I thought he would, probably a legit 50/50 fight dont think Povetkin is that special

    Povetkin beats them both the same night.

    No way... Especially not the china chinned quitter scuba Scott... He barely made it past an ancient Thompson. Jennings would give a spirited effort but come up short.

    Yep... can see Scott outboxing him for most of the fight and probably clinging on for a UD. Jennings would be very competitive and may outwork Plod for a decision/late TKO

    Not sure I'd trust Scott to beat Arnold Gjarbage.

    Scott would box circles around that joke, guy is a complete novice.... Scott wouldn't have much to worry about at all. He's not any better than Leapai or Tupou, probably worse in all honesty.

    Probably, but I'd still not trust him to beat Gjarbage. The way he went crashing down against old Tony lingers.

    Old Thompson is still LEVELS above that joke, Gjergjaj is absolute trash. Went life and death with shot Bakhtov, struggled with Redzovic, and out of everyone who's beaten Hungarian journeyman Csala he's the only one who failed to stop him.

    I agree he's a bum but suggesting Scott beats Pov is more ridiculous than Gjarbage beats Scott. That was my point.
