What's wrong with this guy. Why can't this guy get any fights? who is his manager?

Cunningham is rated as the #1 Cruiserweight in the world, but he hasn't done anything special in years. Ever since he beat Huck back in 2007 Cunningham has only fought 4 times. Huck has been in the ring 14 times since that loss. I like Cunningham but why the hell is he sooooooooo inactive. I want to see him in the ring against the top fighters asap to see if he really is the best in the CW division.

I've always wondered this. Cunningham has been one of my favorites for years now, which is actually why I could understand his peers not wanting to step in with him. Adamek knew not to give Cunningham a rematch since the risk certainly outweighed the reward and USS is one of the few Americans that have actually been successful in winning on the cards across the pond. The guy has a gift and possesses grace in the ring at cruiser.

Yeah Being inactive and not fighting top quality fighters can really hurt him. He's also 35 years old so he needs to get back in the ring.

Exactly. Which is why he's now with Sauerland. The big fights are there.

Come to think of it, that explains why Jones-Cunningham II hasn't happened yet.
