    :shock: Wow I hadn't voted yet, that's a pretty huge lead Cunningham has. Not sure why Milk Dud is getting so little love here, oh well....I voted Tarver by KO.

    Why does Cunningham fight as a Heavyweight? For the $?
    He comes in weighing around 205-210lbs usually, surely he could cut that and just make Cruiserweight where he'd be more effective?

    Crusierweight is a very European division, it's a shame that the US doesn't pay it more attention. One of my favourite weight classes with some big punchers and exciting fighters in it.... But I guess the best American 200lber is BJ Flores or Roy Jones Jr, lol.

    I'd have loved to see a Cunningham vs. Adamek trilogy or tetralogy @ 200lbs. Both could have cemented themselves as ATG's at the weight, if they weren't so greedy.

    Cunningham is too strong/fit and young for Tarver.

    He's going to wear him down

    Imagine CW division with Adamek, Gomez, Haye, Jirov, Cunningham permanently staying there and constantly fighting each other.

    possible but you also have to see that cunningham has been in more wars then tarver. tarver preserved himself thats why he can still compete at this age

    Isn't greedy kind of a harsh term?

    If you could move to another department st work and make more money for basically the same work, wouldn't you?

    Yeah. And I guess if a top surgeon decided that saving the lives of children with heart defects was boring and he wanted to start up a pyramid scheme and make more money, that would be copacetic, too, huh?

    Fact is, both of them had loyal fan bases who desperately wanted them both to stay at CW (even though Adamek started at LHW) and cement their legacies there. Instead they both chased the $$$ at HW, completely ignoring their fans' wishes.

    Umm, I didn't realise fighting at cruiserweight was the equivalent to saving children

    Only child Cunningham needs to worry about is the very sick one hes a father of, and his priority should be making as much money as possible for her to get treated

    Nitpicking???

    The guy has a daughter who requires a heart transplant and people are wondering why he didn't stay at cruiser and make peanuts, because apparently his hordes of fans wanted it??

    You complete toolbag!

    He was a world champ at Cruiser and there were decent enough paydays to be had there (Huck II, Adamek II, Ross II, Diablo III all would've been very lucrative) and they would've done a lot more for his legacy than Gavern/Quezada/Mansour/Visinia. Invalid excuse.
