Dino Duva is pushing extremely hard for the Cunningham fight right now. It partially depends on whether or not the Oleg/Peter fight comes off on the said date. |

Guillermo Jones is a very good boxer but I don't think he would have beaten the pre-Mormeck version of Braithwaite. Big Truck had proven his heart in his fights but he had lost much confidence : the first defeat is something in a boxing career (I imagine it's worse in a unification fight !). Jones is experienced and he had been Mormeck's sparring for Braithwaite : he knew exactly what he had to do. He was the worst possible opponent for a come back fight and the end of the fight was a bit strange...

Ding is on a good streak, needs a title fight, Jones is good, but inactive, Ding has a exciting style and would bring it to the crusiers,Haye is not known in the U.S. nor Enzo but bring on Mormeck or make Jones fight for a title

Plus, the poor man seemed to have some stamina issues. His win over Wayne was a prematured stoppage and since he got a terrible cramp right after the end of the 4th round, I have no doubt Braithwaite would have beaten him if the ref let the fight continue. |

Jones may be too old now and he's been inactive, but he's a very underrated fighter--awkward, hard to get inside on, throws punches at odd angles, and has power in the right hand. Noone has ever convincingly beaten the guy. |

I was speaking with a strength and conditioning trainer and he mentioned some of the same things. Thanks alot for your help. For my next fights, I will finally have real training camps which include some much needed top level sparring as well. |

Ding -
I rate Guillermo Jones quite well, he's awkward and can fight in and out and has shown a sturdy jaw so far. What round do you think you'd get him in? Also, who do you have for Wayne vs. Enzo this weekend? I'm taking Wayne. |

I think this is an extremely exciting fight based on their styles and flaws, and pretty suprised it hasn't been hyped up more. |
