    So many people saying Steve isn't top ten. :-(

    Listen, unless you're willing to let Adamek's blatant robbery against Cunningham go unpunished then Steve is a rightful top ten fighter.

    If you aren't, like, ooh, ninety percent of boxing fans at the time of the fight, then he's a perfectly legitimate opponent for Fury.

    Well if Adamek is a top 5 fighter and Cunningham arguably beat him, the surely Cunningham is a least top 10?

    Any,im sorry but Fury is way too big for him.

    Cunnigham is 6'3 and at best 210.

    Fury is 6'9 and fit at 245-250

    Fury is also over 10 years younger.

    If this fight happens,im putting cash on Tyson

    I pick Cunningham to beat Fury, via a boxing clinic.

    I like this fight for both fighters involved.

    Steve deserved another chance against a contender, now he's got it. Tyson still needs more seasoning, and Cunningham's a skilled vet that he has to focus 100% on.

    Yep. Pretty much exactly what I was saying, also.

    :good

    I am rooting for Steve Cunningham. He was robbed against Adamek. Very good and skilled fighter.

    interesting fight to see how Cunningham's gonna deal with a 6'8 guy with a good jab and movement himself. this is a good fight for the division

    cunningham obviously cashing out. he's too small and probably too shop worn to really matter at hw. guess he can make more $ getting beat in a few hw fights, than sticking at cw and struggle towards another belt

    size difference will be too much for Cunningham to overcome but glad he's getting another good fight after that adamek robbery. i'm gonna give fury a bit of credit here even though I think it's a fairly safe fight for him since Steve has no power and he's so small in comparison, this is easily Fury's best opponent to date.

    From a threat level POV Chisora was his best opponent to date.

    Cunningham would be the most skilled, by far though.

    Cunningham was just robbed against Adamek, this is not a bad fight. Fury by mid-late stoppage or decision.

    I like any fight involving Fury,but dont think this is the best.How many has Cunningham had at heavy?Want keen when his manager mentioned Adamek,either.Think he loses to Pulev,then there may be talk of the latter vs Fury.Pulev a bit of a beast,so mainly a bit premature.In the meantime,though,would like to see Tyson beating men more his own size,leading up to Pulev,then the big one.Not Price,think thats a great 50 50 down the road,not this year.

    **** fight for Fury. Cunningham beat Adamek, whoop dee do, so did Chamber's. This american dude has neither the size or power to give Tyson any trouble. And having a suspect chin isn't going to help either. Fury won't fight a tall fighter with a big punch, because it we'll be lights out for the big oaf.
