    I'm not a fan of giants picking on smaller limited men.

    Fury to win by mid ko

    There's so much nonsense in that post I wont bother to address it all, far too many exclamation marks as well.

    Who have Charr & Pianeta actually fought for you to rate them so highly. Have either of them ever beat someone in the top20?

    Aye, perfect choice of opponent for Tyson for his US debut.

    USS is an experienced, world class American who will make Tyson work hard to land anything of significance but he doesnt have the power to cause a shock.

    Tyson will get rounds on a big stage & will probably look good while winning. It also sets up the Thompson fight later on this year.

    Yes Pianeta has! This shows me you just dont know anything about him!
    Do you really think Cunningham is a threat for Fury?
    Pianeta was EBU-European Champion! Dont tell me Cunningham would beat him! Cunningham has to prove that he can beat a good contender! And not a fighter like Adamek who gets gift after gift!
    It is just a safe fight for Fury no threat at all for him!!!
    Nothing impressiv to beat a Cruiserweight like Cunningham (who even was not the best Cruiserweight in his prime).
    No nonsense in my post at all.
    Pianeta and Charr are real Heavyweights! A fight Charr vs. Fury or Pianeta vs. Fury would be way more interesting than Cunnigham against Fury or not?

    What about Wlad fighting Mormeck ? You seem to have no issues with the best current HW fighting Cruiserweights but a prospect like Fury doing so and he's a bum? :lol:

    This is not about Wladimir!
    Wladimir vs. Mormeck was one of the worst Heavyweight fights of all time!
    Did I say Fury is a bum? Cant you people read and understand your own language?
    I just said that this fight is boring! Because Cunningham is no threat for Fury at all! Some people here think it will be a good fight but it wont be! Cunningham just has not the tools to win against a good Heavyweight like Fury. Let alone the big size difference! But it is OK Fury will have his big test if he faces Pulev!

    "Pianeta was the EBU-EU Champion"

    Title currently held by Richard Towers.

    It was a rhetorical question! The fact remains that neither Pianeta or Charr has ever beaten a HW as good as Adamek! nor have they been travelling around the world facing world class opponents for many years!!!!

    He's a more legitimate test & competitive opponent than Pianeta or Charr were for a Klitschko!! Plus Tyson Fury is fighting him in America!!

    So was Richard Towers! Steffen Nielson! Neither of them had cancer!!

    !

    He just beat Adamek!!! What good contenders have Pianeta or Charr beaten??

    !!

    You do know that at one point, Cunningham had beaten all the current title holders at cruiserweight!! He was still one of the best cruisers when he moved up & beat a top10 heavyweight!

    Possibly, but as Fury is fighting in America it makes sense to fight an American. Fury is close to a mandatory title shot, why would he fight any lowly ranked opponent at this stage in his career?

    Again this is about Fury fighting Cruiserweight Cunningham.
    Cunningham was a very good Cruiserweight till he got beaten clearly (and almost KOed) by Hernandez! But he is just not a natural Heavyweight! Do you people really think that it will be a close fight? I think Fury will be the first fighter to KO Cunningham! Because Fury is the first good Heavyweight contender Cunningham will face!

    DrMO.... do you really think Adamek is a good Heavyweight contender????
    Cunningham is still ONE (not at all the best) Cruiserweight but he is just not a Heavyweight! Why cant you people see this? Do you think Cunningham can be fight a close fight against a Heavyweight like Fury? (Let alone Adamek who is just at this position because he got two gift victories!!!!!!!)
    Cunningham has not the natural tools to be a force in this division FACT!
    Fury will KO him!
    Just because he beat Adamek on points you think he is a good Heavyweight? Adamek is just a **** who gets gift victory after gift victory!

    In the last 30 years Micheal Spinks & Micheal Moorer have moved up from light-heavyweight & become the HW champion. Roy Jones moved up from middleweight & won a world title, James Toney almost did the same.

    Holyfield & Haye were cruiserweight champions who were able to move up to heavyweight successfully. Several cruiserweights have moved up & fought for world titles, just last year Huck -Povetkin was extremely competitive. Look how Usyk performs in the WSB, a cruiserweight taking on super-heavies & he thrashes them.

    You do not need to be 195+cm tall & weigh 110+kg to be a good heavyweight.

    Boystov turned the fight down & Wach is banned. Charr would be fun but he hasnt beaten anyone who was that good & he looked poor in his last fight.

    Cunningham is a better opponent for Tyson.

    Boytsov had an injury and Kluch did not want the fight....
    And still Cunningham is no good opponent for Fury! He just has no tools to be a threat for Fury! No KO chance also no chance to win on points.
    Fury Scott would be way better.... at least I would see a chance that Scott could win over points. But Cunningham? No way!
    And please dont compare Cunningham with Holyfield and Haye! These are two former cruiserweights who had the tools to be good Heavyweights and who where the best in theire division and who had the skills and tools to be Heavyweight Champions! But Cunningham has it not.
    For me it is just a missmatch! But we will see how Cunningham can do against a good Heavyweight contender like Fury.
    At least Fury is not fighting Bums!
