    we all know this fight should have happened a few year back, but then again i understand haye fighting mormeck and enzo instead.

    the question is, if cunningham announces he is moving up to hw, would this be a legitimate fight in your eyes? as in a hw title defence for haye.

    i would be quite interested in seeing it happen myself.

    Rather see Haye get his British glass jaw shattered by Klitscko. Britain has 2 champions right now in boxing. We really have to get it down to 1 so the sport doesnt lose respect.

    What is Froch the champion of? Being ugly?

    That 2. Haye beat a horrible champion in Valuev. A fight alot feel he lost. Why would he be fighting a cruiserweight he already ducked? He talked sh!t about the Klitsckos for a year, and now he's asked to step up he's scared.

    That glass jaws gonna be shattered to pieces and shipped back to sherwood forrest! :bbb

    I'd love to know what the big deal is with Cunningham. He's a good fighter, but some people go on like he's something special. I mean he's only KOd 12 fighters and none of the top boys. He lost to Adamek, and Wlodarczyk. Beat Braithwaite, but then so did Enzo Mac. Beat Marco Huck who is a decent name and Guillermo Jones. Was he ever really the man at Cruiser when Haye made his assult for the title? I dunno.

    The jury is out. Oh and yes I think Haye takes him!

    I'm not interested in it at heavyweight. Put simply, Cunningham isn't big enough for heavy, doesn't hit hard even and wouldn't be able to take a heavyweight punch. Sort of like Adamek, only worse it's a worse case in all those departments. His reach, technical skills and speed could cause a few problems on paper, but he will probably lose a bulk of that speed moving up, especially given he's not a particularly big cruiserweight. And at some point he's going to have to take punches, which he won't do.

    Shut up, clown.

    That is one of the most outrageous comparisons since Floyd Mayweather and Pernell Whitaker.

    Cunningham was not the man at all he fought for the vacant IBF which got stripped off bell before the mormeck rematch so Mormeck should of had it and Haye should of picked it up from him.

    Cunninham lost the fight for vacant belt vs wlodarczyk and then beat him in the rematch.

    No real need for Haye to fight him.
