    still haven't seen Cunningham fight, but Adamek looks like he needs to hit the weights to fight at cruiser...guys like Ding, Enzo, Mormeck, and Bell are too strong for him right now...

    What is the typical wight of Bell, Haye, Ding, Mormerck, Enzo during the fight?
    Are they above 210 lb?

    Interesting fight. Is it in Poland?

    If it is in Poland then Cunningham should rent an appartment over there to lower continous travel expenses.

    How big would Wlodarczyk/Adamek be in Poland??

    That fight makes more $$ sense I would think.

    As for Cunningham, he's underrated methinks. Good boxing skills and strength. He would give Adamek problems.

    Ding, did you see Maccarinelli/Braithwaite? If so, what do you think of Macca?

    Far from a done deal. Adamek's team realize Cunningham poses even greater problems than Dawson; both being slick boxers (Dawson slicker of course) but steve being a natural 200 lber who would be very comfy fighting Adamek in Poland after 2 close bouts with Wlodarczyk there.

    I think Adamek vs Maccarinelli or even vs JMM are more likely at this point in time (despite Macca looking good against Braithwaite).

    Cunningham turned down a proposed fight versus Adamek or a rubber match against Wlodarczyk in Poland a couple of months ago.

    So you think Dawson's slickness posed less of a problem for Adamek than would Cunningham's size?

    I disagree with that.

    Cunningham is a less slick (but still very slick! :D ) 25 lb heavier version of Dawson with even bigger reach & height advantages.

    Yes I believe he will pose a bigger threat, though Dawson is such a phenomenal talent I can't really argue against picking him over Cunningham too much.

    Cunningham means more power, better chin but much slower and less skilled than Dawson.
    I think its the fight which fit Adamek well.

    How do you see the difference of 10 lbs in Cruiser weight -
    how will your performance be affected if you weight around 196?
