Jennings I think if brought along intelligently can be knocking on the door within 3-4 fights, maybe a little more. To me he's the most promising of the bunch. It used to be Mitchell... but again, his mental attitude toward boxing worries me. I like the fact he's an ex-football player, which means he'll more than likely always show up in great physical shape. But he's gotta search within himself if he wants to take the arduous path to HW stardom. "Lack of passion" won't do.

Wilder I'm sort of frustrated about. One more fight against a fat, blubbery bum and I'm gonna start considering him a circus freak. One with a powerful right hand and an ornery attitude... but a circus freak just the same. 25 fights and not a live body in sight is utterly disgraceful... I don't care HOW carefully you're trying to bring along a boxer.

Oliver McCall, even at his ripe old age, would be a HUGELY dangerous fight for Wilder at this point. McCall has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and tends to swing for the fences with every shot. One connect is all it would take for Wilder to lose that "0". But he (Wilder) certainly needs an upgrade in opponent. Someone who will take him past 4 rounds.

I'm thinking some of these prospects need to start facing each other (a la Mitchell-Banks) before too long.
