He has a fight v Lerena a SA former cruiser very soon. He is also a Warren fighter and I'm sure Boxxer will want the control this time after letting Warren call the shots last time out

I wuz just trying to hurry DDD along, as my man needs a fight.  He'd have 6 weeks after the fight this Sunday, but yeah, nah.
I do think Hunter is the way to go.  Forget needing a KO or dominating.  Just win the damn fight.  There are others in the top ten, too many to name in the four alphabets, that would be good.  It's a matter of the promoter and the $$$.

Just pisses me off that DDD is a co-champ after losing to JJ, and Hunter is the #1 ranked after SD with Forrest.

I do think an opponent has already been chosen, or he wouldn't have gotten on his bike and ski-daddled to Fury's gym.

Highly likely they have an opponent lined up or at least a couple of options on the table.

A good opponent. Respectable, and Jennings is not heavy handed. Beat Jennings, then win a top 5 fight against ???, and he's back in contention, hopefully against Usyk. The article said he had recently gotten over an illness before the JJ fight. Yeah, yeah.

I give it a 50/50 fight. Jennings went the distance against JJ.

Def a skilled tricky guy could be a difficult night

Hard to believe Jennings isn't ranked in the top 15, as he's only lost to 4 top fighters. Guess it's because he's been inactive since 2019.

Yeah probably his inactivity is a major factor-I think he see's JP as a winnable fight to break into that type of ranking zone.
He could do well targeting a DD fight as well
Parker needs to blow Jennings away if its a Hughie type fight he may as well call it a day.
He seems motivated -headed over before Xmas so hopefully doing the Mahi and gets his weight right this time out

Joe gets his weight down, doesn't get an illness, better fight plan, maybe???
