    Cunningham. I really don't know about Calzaghe's speed, stamina, or chin at 190. I would assume Cunningham would beat him senseless.

    If JC could carry his speed he'd tear Cunningham up

    If Calzaghe is so good and is able to carry these skills to 190; then why has he been spending the last 10 years or so struggling to make 168 just to fight bums? How come he never moved to LHW?

    calzaghe's movement would nullify everything he has to offer and would box his way to a UD.

    Yes probably Cunningham ,but I've always wondered how Calzaghe would get on if he fought at the weight he walks around at.I think it would be a good fight.

    USS would rip Calzaghe a new one far too big.

    Calzaghe doesnt have the frame to carry 190lbs and beat Cunningham. He'd be a top 10 Cruiserweight at best IMO.

    cunningham for sure. calzaghe is kinda smallish even by smw standards. i've seen his tale of the tape (chest, wrists, biceps), he is considerably smaller than me and i could easily make smw (i'm not a boxer though). cunningham has muscles that i didn't know they exist.

    Cunningham is well muscled but an average boxer with serious limitations.

    All this talk of him beating people is hilarious.

    It would be easier to list what are not his limitations.
