    Even Arreolla at his 6'4" frame looked like a dwarf standing with Vitali...:shock:
    I don't know if Jennings has what it takes to get passed the top contenders ..... seem to small for todays HW's :think Whatchathink

    He is looks small because he hasn't got +20% body fat percentage. He weighed in at 225 he would for sure weigh 240 if he was as fat as most HWs (and Boytsov, Perez and Povetkin aren't bigger) and hasn't he like a 84inch reach

    He use to be a part time boxer because he has a family to support, but he has been making enough with his TV appearances to not have to run 7 miles to work every day. He's in the gym and ready to make a serious run.

    :rofl:rofl:roflWTF.......his last 4 fights have been vs solid fighters. He's TKOd Liakovich in more dominant style than Helenius or Briggs did, he fought an excellent fight vs both Collins and Byarm, and his first rd KO vs Koval showed he's got the explosive power to hurt HWs.

    Tonight, he's fighting another top 50 in Tupou.

    So, in his last 5 he's fought 2 solid world level HWs in Tupou and Liakovich, 2 solid top 100s in Byarm and Collins and a gritty journeymen in Koval.

    Now.....if you don't like the kid, fine. But saying he aint even "part time" boxer is f/n ridiculous.

    He may not be able to beat a Klitshcko, and hasn't done quite enough yet to deserve a look, but with his dominating win tonight, he'll have certainly cracked the top 30 in my rankings....although tbh, he was in my top 30 when he stepped up vs Liakovich.:good

    Jennings hasn't been tested as of yet, his best win is a washed-up Liakhovic, but if he continues to progress as he's doing now, he might make it to a fight with Wlad in 2-3 years if Wlad doesn't get bored and will still be around

    Jennings wants Adamek and Szpilka....two of your obvious favorites.

    And do you believe Adamek and Szpilka want to risk their chins against Bye....

    Peltz tried to make these fights with Jennings as the TBA. Both Adamek and Szpilka ducked him.

    And while I actually LIKE Adamek, and Szpilka is growing on me, the facts are indisputable here.:deal

    Think he's the real deal, but he clearly isn't tested yet.

    The Jennings hype took shape when he won a competitive points decision against other (then) US hopeful Byarm, who later got bumbashed in 2 rounds by Magomed.
    Now Mago has shown to be pretty vunerable as well, and that raises extra questions about the level Byarm and Jennings are really on.

    He has fought better fighters than Wilder or Mitchell have and hasn't been knocked down or out like they have either.

    ABC theory don't work when in this case.

    Mago's got defensive liabilities and McCline showed them. But still, Mago ended up KOing Big Time with a short R hand.
    Byarm was looking very good vs Mago before he let himself get caught. Jennings aint the HUGE puncher and isnt the KO artist to take Byarm out in that fashion.

    Does anyone think Sergei is shot? I mean he more than held his own vs top 10 Helenius, some even had him ahead before he succumbed to the superior firepower.
    Jennings is shaping up quite well, and he's being busy. It's straight up for him.:thumbsup

    Sorry but calling Liahkovich a solid top 50 HW and using him as a measuring stick is kinda absurd. Sergei has been shot to hell for years, arguably since he won his belt against Brewster.

    That aside, it's just too soon to talk about Jennings and Klitschko, let him keep climbing the ladder for the time being.
