How good is he? How far can he go (Can he unify the cw division? Move up to hw and have success etc)? What is his style like? Crowd pleaser/Nicely skilled etc? I've read about the guy but have never gotten around to watching any of his fights. So, fire away....
Any opinion that somebody gives you is going to be laced with bias... watch some fights on youtube and form your own opinion
He's a bit past his prime now but still probably good enough to win another title or two. After all he has beaten all the current title holders before.
Very underrated boxer who didn't get on American tv until the Adamek fight. Extremely fit, boxer/puncher style, moves in and out well. Not a lot of one punch knockout power. Not an overly crowd-pleasing style, but I would recommend his fights against Sebastian Rothmann, Huck and Adamek; the Adamek fight was a FOTY type scrap. I enjoyed his two bouts with Wlodarczyk, although they are largely tactical because of the style of the two fighters. Definitely could have unified the division a couple of years ago if given the chance. Dominated Huck and made him look silly. It's really too bad that Adamek didn't rematch him after their first fight. Would have been an outstanding fight. The question now becomes age. Cunningham's career has always been slow moving, first because of Don King and then because it was hard to get fights. Probably too late to unify, but is still the first or second best fighter in this division. I'd love to see him rematch Huck for Huck's belt or fight a guy like Lebedev. I think he gives Lebedev problems.
he's arguably the best cruiserweight in the world if the germans ever get around to doing the super six that there allways talking about cunningham would probably win it
He beat 3 current CW belt holders in Wlodarczyk, Huck and Guillermo Jones. He's a good boxer/puncher although he doesn't have 1 punch KO power. He had a good showing against Troy Ross even though he was knocked down in that fight. He dominated Enad Licina but ring rust was clearly visible in that fight.
A good, solid, professional fighter who lacks the "wow" factor Americans typically look for in our fighters. He has solid fundamentals, good footwork and handspeed, and decent power but nothing that jumps out at you. His fight with Adamek was wildly entertaining, and he did absolutely dominate Huck. Those are probably his best two to pull up and watch.
