Comments Thread For: Steve Cunningham: I Was a Cruiserweight Fighting at Heavyweight

[PunchyPotorff]

He's saying what everybody but him (apparently) has known for quite some time. If the same Glowacki shows up that stopped Huck, this could be a tough one for Cunningham.

He never did get that "big money" fight at HW.
There are plenty of good fights for him at Cruiserweight

I respect Cunningham as a fighter but i think Glowacki stops him. Cunningham is getting old and the cruiserweights throw more punches and are faster for the most part. He has been knocked out or dropped at cruiserweights many times before.

Cunningham's never been knocked out at Cruiserweight. The only man to stop him thus far has been Tyson Fury.

I have nothing but respect for USS. He has a ton of heart, crazy work ethic, and the boxing skills to match. I hope he gets that belt, especially after all the bad decisions he's gotten lately.

agreed i dont think he gets enough credit for it actually he has fought dudes that had like a good 70 pounds on him at least. hell he put fury who was so muc bigger on his ass with that overhand right. its a shame fighters like cunningham are overlooked

Absolutely. Now that I think about it, I realise he's one of my favourite fighters in the sport, not so much for what he does in the ring but the whole way he conducts himself as a professional pugilist. He has never shied from a challenge, never dialled it in or given less than one hundred percent, never given up his quest to be a champ despite horrendous decisions going against him time and again. He's a true old school warrior and more fighters like him should be applauded, not used to ridicule others at their own expense.

I think history would have been very kind to Cunningham in another era. Nowadays, where robbery decisions are upheld by fickle fans looking to bolster their agenda, and anyone with a couple of losses on their resume is automatically considered a bum, men like Cunningham are often resigned to the scrapheap of irrelevance. Let's hope he gets one last big win before he retires, because let's face it, if anyone deserves to go out on a high, it's him.

I'm gonna be doin some Manny Mom voodoo shiet on Glowacki in the run up to this fight.

Well said mate. Cunningham is a warrior and could very well be a HW champion right now if he wasn't robbed blind by Glazkov. I think he would take Charles Martin to school.

Best of luck. It's not easy to fight giants like Fury.

You are right about the stoppage but i remember him getting dropped quite often.
