    cunninghamn is the slickest of all the cruiisers and will pose huck problems.

    but huck can susutain the pressure and workrate the best of all the top ten cruisers and if wlodcrcyk gave cunningham 2 hard fights than the much better rounded huck will be to much IMO.

    I seen Cunnigham vs Diablo I, he is more John Ruiz then being that slick. He never stops holding and fights scared. God that was awful! Huck should take this.

    Cunningham is a tough ass matchup for anyone, but he shouldn't fight Huck in Germany. If so, he's heading for a probable decision loss.

    Huck is straightforward and aggressive, and has added a jab to his arsenal, but Cunningham is very slick and could take advantage of the more stand-up, Euro style of Huck.

    Don't base your opinions off of one performance. Cunningham was more cautious in that fight because of Diablo's power and that it was his first title shot.

    Great! After first getting robbed in Poland versus Wlodarczyk, now he can get robbed in Germany as well.
    Why do you think the German promoters offered $425,414 compared to the $404,000 of Don King(!).
    At the long term they will earn triple that amount ($21.414) back by promoting and making the German boxing audience/community believe that this Huck is a boxing god.

    Marco is a stiff that makes a lot of mistakes, but he's at least pressing the action, Cunningham will not have the time to start popping that jab and keeping Marco out of range.
    Marco will win a pretty boring contest, Steve has a good jab, but if you neutralize that, he's got virtually nothing.

    If Cunningham had a good inside game, and powerful hooks, he would've been able to dig it out and knock Huck.
    Huck again, is a stiff.. he's emotional and makes a lot of mistakes, throw him in there with Ding and we'll see him go down :)

    That fight was just terrible, as bad as any Ruiz fight, honestly. Then it pissed me off when he complained like he was robbed so badly, after that poor of an effort! Cunnigham fought like he didnt even want to be in the ring. Both fighters probably deserved to lose, if that was possible. But at least Diablo was trying to fight, Cunnigham wasnt doing anything but his best Ruiz impression.

    Cunningham is fast but has no punching power. Huck has good defence and throws great combos and will win it by UD.

    Huck's pressure could trouble him, but you're wrong about the jab being Cunningham's only weapon.

    At his best he moves constantly, not just laterally but good head and body movement, and throws lots of sharp punches in combination. Pure, straight aggression won't necessarily negate that.

    I refer you to the Sebastian Rothmaan fight for a good example. Cunningham also beat Guillermo Jones in a close fight; Jones being a rangy and aggressive fighter who can crack with the right hand.

    Huck/Cunningham is an interesting style matchup that should be a better fight than you guys are anticipating.

    Huck will be the most physical guy Cunningham has faced beside Jones and Wldoarcyk plus he has the best stamina of all cruiserweights.

    I see a tense and close fight for about 8 rounds, then Huck turning up the heat while Cunningham will fade, holding to survive - but Huck being ultra-strong will break those clinches, forcing to ref to stop the fight in round 11 or 12 as Cunningham can't throw anyhing back and getting caught by some hard combos...
