    Why is he wasting his time at CW..?

    The US Heavyweight world defence is in a terrible state..

    Why is a good big CW, 6"3 with a big reach and athletic ability..

    Wasting his ****ing time, in the shitty CW division.......

    He needs to man up, and ****ing move to the Heavyweight division..!!!!!

    He has average power and chin at cw. Every serious hw contender would KO him.

    Too small to be a HW.

    Well me and him go to the same church in Philly. I spoke to him about 2 weeks ago and he said he is trying to wiggle out of his Don King contract because its still an issue. He wants to go with Top Rank and make a move. I doubt he is going to HW, he has never mentioned it.

    Well easiest answer is 'he's not a heavyweight' but I DEF could see him doing the Adamek-Cunningham rematch at HW and I can see him beating guys (CW type HWs) like Chambers, Mormeck, Banks.

    I see Cunningham-Adamek at CW for Cunningham, at HW it's 50-50.

    Id say the same odds vs Haye.

    THOUGH he'd need time to adapt to that weight like Haye/Adamek have.

    I'd prefer to see him unify and run the CW division BUT dunno if the $$ is there. I wish HBO would drop HW's and show CW's instead.

    Really! It's about time that they realized that the heavy's aren't the glamour division anymore and start showcasing an open division. An adamak/Cunningham rematch needs to happen on HBO. The first fight was very entertaining and of great significace. Adamek is wasting his time at heavy, and USS is no heavy either.

    I was thinking the same, no chin, no power no HW.

    I think Johnathan Banks has a better chance at HW than Steve Cunningham.

    In person, Steve Cunningham is a big ****ing guy. I'm not sure how he makes CW, to be honest. He is every bit 6'3, probably closer to 6'4 and is like a big onyx statue of muscle. He's bigger than most HW's at my gym.

    As much as I like Steve Cunningham which I do, he has a glass jaw which I dont think will serve him well at HW.

    I also thought he beat Adamek, they should have a rematch.

    Cunningham gotta get busy, he should fight Godfrey and get back his belt, then use the Don King connection to get an unification with Jones.

    Well, after that getting rid of DKP would be a good idea.
