    it would probably be pretty painful to watch. he's a good solid by the numbers fighter, but welters a strong division and even the low end top 10 guys would have too much for him. he gets hit too often at the level he's at, so against the best that'd be his downfall, plus he doesnt really have the one punch knockout power to stop them steaming forward.

    He's a very basic fighter. Solid fundamentals, but no X factor that is going to carry him far on the world stage in this division

    No power, speed, and can be a bit negative at times. He's a European level fighter, and its about time he fights for it, been defending that WBU garbage for ages. Who does he think he is, Ricky Hatton?

    We may see him fight Miguel Cotto in ten years time, or Ivan Calderon after a few burgers.

    That just sums the WBO up. No doubt when Williams vacates, Jennings will accuse the Punisher of ducking him. Now I am not a Williams fan, but see nothing but a schooling here.

    Have always been a fan of Jennings as he is a stylish fighter. He has got a good jab, and has a bit of class about the way he fights. I am not going to say he is going to beat the world's elite as he has done nothing so far to suggest he could.

    I do, however, think he would beat the likes of Watson, Anderson, Brook and McIntyre.
