Would be a tall order for Jennings. Cintron is a quality operator, the fight with Margarito is a very interesting clash.

Would be even better if we actually got to see it.

I think Crinton would be a bit too much for Michael at this stage, but hey if Margarito beats Crinton and then moves up - it could be Jennings vs Matthyse for the vacant title.

Good find, Real Deal. Very interesting those.

Good to see the WBO are still coming out with the daftest ratings around.
WBO No#1 without ever beating a top ten fighter

All sanctioning bodies ratings should be labelled as Comedy

Cintron easily

BWAH-HAHA-HAHAH! That's just made me spray coffee all over my PC. Cheers, the WBO! They really are the most fornicating awful ratings ever, aren't they?

Klose and Villareal (NEWTON fornicating VILLAREAL) over Spinks? And who pray tell has Jennings beaten?

I know I'm sounding like a scratched record, but a guy who hasn't even fought for the BRITISH title is rated number 1 in the world? WTF? Has he, like, taken the Kirkland Laing route then, and gone to America and fought real tough fighters and contenders?

I thought about whingeing about, you know, the unheimlich nature of his management choice and lofty ranking, but on second thoughts: I hope he DOES get to fight the winner of Margarito-Cintron.

And gets his arse handed to him.

I agree that the rating are stupid, Jennings isn't even provin on the Euro circuit yet.

But it isn't his fault that they do rate him no1, so you can't really slag off Jenning for that. I doubt very much that his managment would rush into a fight with either Cintron or Margarito, unless the money was to good to turn down.

You're right dude. Over-reaction on my part. Too much of this stuff goes on to get so worked up over.

Right, thinking calming thoughts...

Cintron wins easily. This is almost as much of a joke as when Michael Gomez was WBO#1 to Freitas - he'd have got smashed to a pulp. The WBO ratings are the worst around surely.

Well BOXREC have Ted Bami as the world's no. 5 welterweight, I'd say that one is even wider of the mark!!

And 'I hope' you die of cancer.

What's Jennings ever done to turn you against him?

Nels · Post by **Nels** » 15 Mar 2005, 08:10

Thank you so much.

I have nothing against Michael Jennings. Which is why I apologised for my rash remark.

And indeed, did not (and would never) wish him actual bodily harm.

This is an absolute joke, no disrespect to Jennings but lets be real he aint done nowt to deserve being the Mandatory challenger, mind you i'd rather see him fight for a WBO title than a WBU
