    It's a natural fight that's probably on the horizon with both guys fighting on NBC.

    After he beats jennings, he's got to be crowned as the saviour of the current american HW boxing.

    Jennings would school Amir. Boxing lesson!

    Jennings could handle Amir fairly easily.
    That's also a plausible scenario, it's true. Jennings has not been chin checked yet though so I would like this fight too.

    If Amir does win then I will show a little more interest. Until then he remains an outside dog.

    He got dropped by Tupou.

    I think Jennings was a bit too loose vs Tupou, but after the knockdown he turned it on and finished with class. Tupou has some pop too. I think Jennings has grown since then a bit but when we start thinking about Jennings vs Mansour I think the major problems for Mansour would be Jennings' reach, his athletic ability, his punches are delivered quickly and straight, and he's got very good footwork. Mansour is kind of a poor man's post prison Tyson, his footwork gives him a good solid base for power, but he's a little plodding in his movement. Amir's best punches are his right hook and left cross...the hook is a bit loopy and lands behind the head/doesn't land clean but his left cross is a good punch but it's something a guy who is not leaning in and circling the wrong way can easily avoid. His head movement wanes after a few rounds as is typical for a pressure fighter and he's trying to be a pressure fighter which he has done a great job of thus far but here's what will happen to him: He'll get horribly outboxed (Jennings), he'll meet a stronger tougher pressure fighter(Ruiz Jr), or he'll catch a huge shot and be absolutely shattered to bits (Wilder).

    Mansour might could have done something at age 23, but pressure fighters have a time limit...tick'tock, tick'tock, he's 41 and soon to be a pumpkin

    Agreed. Jennings has been in a couple of dust ups and his body was pounded last out with no signs of give. He would do a number on Mansour with combinations and have him seriously short circuited with accuracy. Nothing but respect for Mansours trails & tribulations, but dude has reached his ceiling.

    Amir Mansour fought decently enough and Kelvin Price is big enough to give Amir a taste of what a top contender who is that big could do, but Price isn't the kind of boxer who is technically gifted or all that powerful. What we saw in the fight was a guy who couldn't move very well and who gave up his height, reach, and balance in order to try and land something get beat by a more sturdy fighter who was swinging wildly. And there are plenty of pros and cons to take from the fight for both fighters. Price showed a decent enough chin, he caught Mansour a few times without lunging in or falling in, but mainly he would bring his body behind his punches and it made him easier to hit. Mansour attacked well enough, but after a while he stopped moving his head, he did NOT look physically impressive in regards to how he handled Price's size, and Price gave him plenty of open windows to sink some big time power punches through and though he took advantage of those a few times I was not impressed with Mansour's power, nor his handspeed, but he kept at it and eventually wore Price down which tells me he's not as explosive of a power puncher as we have been lead to believe. Also I noticed Mansour slowed greatly as the fight wore on....He's attempting to be a pressure fighter and he's 20 years too late for that bus, as a slugger he's ok, but if he had his power but used defense better MAYBE he'd have a shot but he's not going much farther up the ladder without a loss that's just a FACT.

    Jennings beats him, Wilder beats him, David Price beats him, Tyson Fury beats him.

    I'm thinking Jonathan Banks and Seth Mitchell would be very difficult for Amir. He might could have a brawl with Chisora but I wouldn't expect him to win.

    Andy Ruiz Jr should fight Mansour next
