I emailed my HBO colleague asking him if there was any chance Klitschko could lose to his opponent. (Klitschko hasn't lost a fight in nine years, but he's 39)
Hi
Nat,
Klitschko is rightly a huge favorite, but very few fighters in history have mowed down top contenders, without losing, for as long as Klitschko has during this current streak. One off night in the heavyweight division is all it takes. Jennings has to hope Klitschko has one and has to be emotionally prepared to take advantage if he does.
Wladimir is 39 years old. Until Foreman KO'd Moorer (1994), 39 would've been the oldest heavyweight champion in history. No one goes on forever.
Otherwise, Klitschko is much bigger, much, much more experienced, much better pedigree, better boxer, better puncher, etc., etc.
Best,
Max
