    cunningham is very well schooled, good counterpunching, great stamina, decent power. hard to imagine he owns a pizza place and still looks that ripped!

    Fully agree, Cunningham is an elite, top 2 cruiserweight.

    Too big, and with too much skill for such a big man, for Calzaghe to handle.

    A good big man beats a good little man, although Flloyd did beat Oscar :huh.
    I'd still pick USS to win though.

    Calzaghe should apologise to you for not being an african american.

    Cunningham an elite fighter?:lol:

    He's good, but he's far from what I'd call elite. And I fully agree he's too big for Calzaghe, that's obvious.

    Clearly I wrote he was an elite Cruiserweight. I don't think there is a single Cruiser in the top 10 that matches up with USS skill-wise.

    200 lb men aren't going to look like PBF in the ring.

    Although I'd make Cunningham favorite.If Calzaghes chin holds up at the weight It would be a very winable fight IMHO.

    I find him very beatable. Mormeck for instance, if he fights again, should be able to beat him.

    Bell also.

    Ok. If Calzaghe is so good and can carry his skills to 190, then why did he spend 10 years or so defending his WBO belt in a mediocre division instead of going to LHW?
