    Ever since he got dropped by King Kong Ortiz he's been quiet. Dude isn't a legend but he's a damn good contender. Let's see him back in the ring

    This has come up before and someone who apparently has inside knowledge said hes made alot of money and doesn't want to fight again unless it's for alot of money. Of course, the only way he's going to get those big fights is fighting smaller fights first, so I think it's entirely possible he may never fight again.

    He's done. Doesn't have the size, power or skill to compete in today's division.

    he did very well against Klitscho considering how much Klischo held him and Povetkin both

    He beats Wilder...
    Szpilka schooled Wilder until the stoppage, Jennings schooled Szpilka before stopping him. Jennings schools Wilder as well.

    Sad to see a guy like Jennings who's a hard worker, not afraid of anyone in the division struggle to get big fights while conman Wilder milks his belt for all it's worth against sub par opposition. Why isn't Wilder facing guys like Klitschko or Ortiz?

    This was pre-Ronny Shieds Szpilka. I would have knocked him out back then. Furthermore, he was sent back the night before the fight to Poland or so, it was really troublesome for the team. Szpilka would beat Jennings today.

    To be fair his coming off two losses. He needs to build some momentum first, if he was active he may have got this fight instead of Washington. If I was managing Jennings I would try get him a fight with a Stiverne, Miller, someone ranked but not too dangerous.

    I think we should see who Wilder faces after this Washington fight, if its the Parker/Fury winner then we can't complain, Ortiz/Whyte should be fighting in an eliminator if they both accept. I think one way or another Wilder will be fighting a name this year.

    It's really make or break for Wilder this year. I just hope Ortiz becomes mandatory so we get to see if Wiler will take it or not.

    Probably realised that he wasn't up to the task.

    Put an ok showing in on a old Vlad but no where near the chocolates and then losing to Ortiz showed him he wasn't going to be elite.

    As said above unless he is getting big money he won't be back again..

    May seem him fighting in the UK as a "dontey defense", the only place the money is atm in the heavy weights.

    well he gonna stay retired. hes not getting big money fighting anyone when your one a 2 fight losing streak. the big pay days are the guys you fought already plus deontay and joshua. and if jennings wanted joshua or wilder he would have to go knock off a pulev or stivern sum one like that an hes capable doing that. whyte is another one you can get recognition beating but even that is risky for jennings. if jennings want to come back maybe go after arreola thats a great fight for him at this point.
