    The unexpected outcome of so many fights makes boxing such an exciting sport.

    Huck is still a very young fellow.The potential and talent is there.Quite a lot of posters here have called him ****, an overrated bum, a mediocre boxer since he lost to Cunningham.
    I guess all these people tend to forget that he had shown some very convincing performances before he squared off against Cunningham for a title shot. Cunningham fought a smart fight and truly deserves respect for the way he won his encounter with Huck.Nevertheless,it was an even fight up to the later rounds of their encounter.Huck clearly had the edge in firepoer.He relied too much on it which was his downfall.Not one of his devastating haymakers found its target! He was just too smart for a cagey fighter like Cunningham at that stage of his career.
    However,he beat Tokarev in very convincing fashion. Tokarev scored a draw the present world title holder Arslan,and beat Darnell Wilson.
    Whoever defeats such a dangerous opponent like Tokarev in such a convincing fashion has the potential to be a big player at cruiser weight.
    I dont think that Huck will ever be able to claim the nr.1 spot at cruiser for his person as the former Russian amateur star Alexeev campains at cruiser as well,but the likes of Kraj,Arslan,Wilson,Flores,Hernandez,Braitwaithe,Frenkel,Licina,Wlodarcyzk,
    Adamek,and Cunningham are beatable.
    I for my part will bet my money on Huck in a rematch against Cunningham if their rematch takes place in about 2 years.Huck still has to learn one or two things before.
