    Wladimir was always going to walk to an easy win over Jennings but then Wladimir doesn't really have anyone else to face. He's fought Haye, he's fought Povetkin, he's fought Ibragimov.

    Notice that 5 out of the last 6 challengers for Klitschko were undefeated fighters when he fought them? He's now in talks about a Fury or Wilder fight.

    There are a tonne of opponents that are better than Monroe that GGG could've faced who have all been active recently.

    i.e Cotto, Quillin, Lee, Taylor, Jacobs.

    Monroe struggled with a journeyman fighter who is 21/21 and his biggest victory to date was against a guy who was 23/8.

    Look at Jennings - not been defeated, close hard fought victory over Mike Perez who was highly touted, good wins over Bowie Tupouand Sergei Liakhovich.

    I want to see GGG face better fighters, I'd say the same about Klitschko but realistically, Fury, Glazkov and Wilder are the only ones that are worthy of a title shot that he hasn't already beaten - he's in conversations with Fury and Wilder, both of whom have been reluctant to step up.

    Remember Povetkin took ages before finally stepping up to face Wlad too?

    you don't know what the hell you're talking about. none of those guys were both willing and able to fight triple G tonight. Cotto & Quillin are chicken****. Lee is hurt and didn't want it either, that's why he signed with Quillin last month. Taylor is insane, and Jacobs also fought last month AND didn't want it.
