    oops sorry, I meant their chins, NOT their punch haha.

    He doesn't sit down on his punches enough, I think a guy like Manny Steward would be awesome, teach him to throw straighter, take his time, plant his feet.

    Not saying I'd put any money on his success. I just think it'd be interesting to see....

      He would probably benefit from Steward but I still think that would only take him so far at heavy.

      At cruiser that would probably spark a quality run.

        I would like to see it and think he could do ok for awhile, maybe get to the top too he is skilled just don't see him beating either K-bro.

        He should give it a shot, what is he like 35 now?

            Bigger guys tend to last longer, although that is usually because power is such a huge factor at heavy and power lasts for a long time. Power however is not his strongest suit.


            His mileage is pretty low though.

              no power, no chin. It would benefit him to stay at lower weights

                He's there for a reason.

                They money isn't great, but it's steady and sure, and there are very few at CW who can handle him. Cunningham stays at Cruiser.

                  If Adamek can do it, so can Cunningham, not to mentioned he's the bigger of the two...

                  i don't consider him a strong cruiserweight at all, he gets pushed around the ring quite easily at times. you're confusing height and reach with overall size, he just doesn't have a frame for heavyweight. see past the cosmetic muscle tone and you'll see he has very light bone structure and it should also be pointed out that he use to fight at the OLD cruiserweight limit of 190 lbs and stated that he walked around under 200 lbs between fights. he belongs at cruiser.

                    If by "making a lot of noise" you mean being the next lamb to the Klitschko slaughter, sure.

                      those guys are too strong for him
                      Cunningham gets KO'd at HW
                      he has more name recognition than any other CW
                      he should stay there and try to unify
