He should fight Chakhkiev or Lebedev.

Not a fan of USS moving up to HW. He barely has the power at CW to be affective and demand respect from his opponents, moving up to the HW his little power will have even less of an impact on the bigger opposition and I don't see it being all that successful for him. Stay at CW, and keep chasing down the titlists there, or become a gatekeeper.

I would pick Cunningham by UD over any current American Heavyweight!

Floyd should sign him.

cunningham has lots of skill but i have doubts about him lasting very long with any decent heavyweight with power. i've seen him go down from shots that don't look very damaging. heavyweight is where the money is at. he can't get a title fight at CW in the states so he is better off staying in europe & signing with a guy like sauerland who could get him some decent fights at HW & make him some money.

i can't see him beating arreola or mitchell. both those guys are aggressive & would be in his face. they would walk right through his punches. he wasn't a big punching CW so i don't think he will add power if he puts on 20lbs. i think he would get beat often at HW. he's not chris byrd or chambers. he's not a slick defensive boxer. he gets hit quite often & is usually on his ass or back once a fight. the difference is at heavyweight he might not get up.

he get those dudes past 5-6 rounds Cunningham would box circles around them

i don't think he would get out of the 1st or 2nd with either of them. he has never fought anyone as big nor has he ever shown that he can take a solid punch. his defence isn't that great. he has a long reach but no power. cunningham does not have defensive skills like the smaller heavyweights like byrd or chambers. he just doesn't have the punch resistance or evasive reflexes to survive in the heavyweight division. he will beat the C & some C+ guys. i think mitchell, arreola, kingpin beat him. i'd want to see him fight a guy like gavern or firtha first to see how he fares with journeymen heavyweights.

Huck should give him a rematch but if he's going to HW then Bryant Jennings would be a good option he's not a big guy and has ok power bcse Cunningham won't last with a HW that can punch
