Should not be considered a champion- i do think he is a good fighter and has more potential then most in recent memory to give Klitschko a run for his money.
Jennings i just dont see it- wasnt impressed at all in recent fights.
Is the legitimate Heavyweight Champ of the World. Wilder can claim he is, but everyone knows Wlad is the man in the heavyweight division. Jennings while talented has no chance against Klitschko. Wlad has gotten much much better later in his career and has developed more of a mean streak. Jennings just doesn't have the firepower to pose a threat to Klitschko.

This. I've followed Wlad for 14 years. Lennox Lewis retired to avoid him. I've never been more pissed. And their has never been another heavyweight that could truly oppose Wlad.
Radar. Don't post on this thread if you're going to be an idiot.
Nobody knows who Wilder is. He's a fucking tomato can.
And I GUARANTEE that you had to look it up on the internet. No doubt.
Nope. I follow boxing and watched Wilder beat Stiverne to win the belt. Maybe you meant it would be great to have a well known, popular American HW champion who is heavier than 220 pounds. I actually think Wilder has a decent chance vs Wlad and its looking like they may fight each other. Wilder also has a pretty marketable personality and has that KO power you need to be famous as a HW.
I agree Boxings endless divisions are a joke, but he's still a HW champion.
But honestly I wasn't trying to be a smartass. I didn't know if you followed boxing so I was letting you know there already is an American HW champion.

Wilder is way too green to challenge Klitschko. He is a very talented boxer with good pop, but he doesn't have much experience against top flight competition. The only legitimate guy he's fought was Stiverne.

He's got the length, power and athleticism to challenge him. Ideally he'd have more experience, but if he waits too long Wlad may be retired.
Jennings wants no part of this fight by the looks of it
Is Wilder a legitimate threat to Klitschko and the HW title? I was under the impression that he had a shot, especially considering that he's relatively young and green. Is he simply a product of the American hype machine or does he realistically have a chance to be a great fighter?
the announcers trying to convince us otherwise. He hasn't thrown a damaging punch yet. Klitschko hasn't done anything either, but he has landed the heavier shots.

Wilder is a really good boxer, something you expect from an Olympic medalist, and has nice power at 6'7. I just want to see him in tough with a few more contenders. He fought 30 something tomato cans before being in tough with Stiverne. Fighting the Heavyweight champion of the world is a different story.
well that's 45 minutes of my life I won't get back
Impressive. I'd love to have seen him against some of the old time heavyweights like Ali, Frazier, Holmes. Either guys with reach and hand speed or guys who knew how to get inside and rock you.
I'm admittedly ignorant with regards to the sport of boxing but having known that Tyson was HW champion at 20 or whenever I had figured that age was detrimental to a fighter rather than an asset that bares experience.
But, I thought that had more to do with Jennings, than with Wlad's style. Jennings simply seemed to not want to get hit. He threw nothing of significance outside of the two punch combination that won him the 6th or 7th round. I certainly would have liked to have seen more rights from Klitschko, but when he threw it he landed it.
I thought the warnings and the deduction for clinching were BS. Jennings would throw a body combination and then lay into Wlad, seemingly trying to get him to clinch. After hearing that his corner complained about it before the fight, I think it was an intentional and strategic tactic. I also think he took some cheap body shots on the breaks, knowing he couldn't be held.
Wlad hurt him in that last round. If the fight was a round or two longer, Jennings was done.
Wow. You must not have seen many fights. Jennings didn't land a serious blow all night. He's game, but not very good.
You must not follow heavyweight boxing. They never mix it up that much since the day Lennox became champ. The grasping that the ref took away from Wlad is the same thing Lennox always did. When the ref took Wlads ability to clinch away it opened up. But since lennox became champ, that was how the heavyweight title bouts went. Hence, the loss in viewership. You can have your opinion I don't care.
adjusts his level of risk taking to what it needs to be. He knew in this fight Jennings wasn't going to hurt him so he didn't have to take any risks to knock him out. He could just jab jab clench jab clench jab straight right himself to an easy decision. And he did.

Or maybe, as Wlad said, Jennings athleticism kept him from being able to throw the right?
I tend to agree with your last post. Wlad saw no reason to take risks. Without really opening himself up he was able to keep popping the jab and sneak in the right when he wanted to. He wasn't getting hit with anything consequential, so why throw the big shots and expose yousrsef?

OK sure. You really want to make this out to be a good fight, don't you. It was a horrible fight as the British broadcast team and all the boxing websites are saying.

Yeah, against a big puncher you've got to get his attention with your own big punches. Jennings has a 50% KO ratio. He's feather fisted and wasn't going to beat Wlad unless Wlad did something stupid.

And I completely realize that there's always the chance for an upset if someone touches his glass chin.

He's like 63-3. How bad can that chin be?
Wilder is 218 pounds and beat a ham n egger who beat Arreola and his bitch tits. All this because VK relinquished his title.
Wilder isn't considered the champ. Come on.
Damn you're awful.

Wilder has a heavyweight belt. That makes him a heavyweight champion. That's an indisputable fact.

That said. Anyone who thinks Wilder is the heavyweight champ belongs in a mental facility.

And yet Jennings was terribly overmatched.
