Welter-weight Micheal Jennings of the U.K?

Micheal Jennings vs Miguel Cotto is being proposed for Feb. 21. We all know about Cotto but does any one know much about Jennings I do know he's rates #2 by the WBO and has a record of 33-1. Is he possibly the next in line of the emerging U.K fighters (calzaghe,hatton,haye,khan)
