    There is talk of him fighting Cotto or Williams. Whats is Jenning's style slugger ? boxer ? Boxer puncher ? Is he any good? he is 33-1 with a good record is Jennings as good as Gary Lockett?:huh

    Decent enough pro, tough guy, but i fear he will get crushed here, seen a few fights on british tv with him and he was good but nothing great imo

    He's much better than Gary Lockett, hes got some good skills but lacks the power to mix it with the WW elite.
    If he does face Cotto though it'll be a Lockett type beating i fear. Deserves his shot though

    Pavlik vs Lockett all over again!

    That's how good he is!

    Jennings is better than Lockett, but he is overmatched against Cotto or Williams. If either of these fight Jennings I see Jennings losing by KO or TKO. No way he wins.

    He is a decent, Euro/WBO level fighter.

    Tough fella, can punch a bit but the fact that he was beaten by Young Mutley tells you all you need to know really.

    One thing you won't see from Jennings is arrogant, crass remarks in the media and a pathetic performance ala Lockett :good

    British boxing became a better place when Lockett retired :deal

    He’s alright he’s beaten a few decent guys but would get destroyed by Cotto or Williams

    miles better than lockett, and a very nice lad . he deserves his chance but cant see him doing anything against those two. he'd give it his all .

    He is a basic fighter, but he's solid in most areas with nothing spectacular or suprising. I'd say he is more of a boxer than a brawler, he tries to do things with technical proficiency unlike Lockett.

    He has a good jab and right hand, and thats pretty much his entire game. Power is pretty average, probably poor at world class. Defence and chin are solid enough.

    He's just a solid fighter that would be out of his depth.

    Ditto to most of the above, he's a solid fighter decent European/Commonwealth level, feel he would be way out of his depth against Cotto but it's hard to begrudge him the payday after a good career and he'll certainly give it more of a go than the poor effort Lockett put up!
