    Makes me wonder what kinds of boxer Jennings could have been if he had started boxing 20 years ago (instead of 4 years ago) and receive professional tutelage 10 years ago (which he received only 2 years ago) and if he had dedicated 100% of his time to boxing for 6 full years (which he only did 18 months ago).

    Jennings career is impressive considering the odds he was up against, but no matter how dedicated he is he's fighting an uphill battle considering how his career went. He's in for an unfair mismatch and all the shoulder patting won't make this any more fair.

    Janitors are not now called mechanics...

    I am a mechanic, I fix cars, I have never cleaned an office block in my life. Are you dumb?

    True, true. A natural talent, considering his style isn't even based on pure power but on skills. Even if he loses, he has a future behind, imo.

    It would be fitting if he lost to a janitor considering his resume is filled with cab drivers.

    That really just shows how little boxing pays for about 99% of the fighters out there.

    No excuses. Tony Thompson started boxing with 26 and he is better than Jennings will ever be. You have boxing in your blood. Jennings wouldn't be farther than he is now if he had trained earlier.
