  3. Cunningham is too featherfisted and too chinny at heavyweight. But he has skills, wouldn't rank him in my top-15 though.

    To a point I'd agree Cunningham is a little underrated

    This guy was giving Fury a whipping before Cunningham got wore out by Furys rough house tactics. I still hope Cunningham still has some fights in him, he has talent, experience, and lots of heart and cojones. I like what I see he has power enough to command respect from heavyweights I wish he'd watch some fights from Holyfield or Moorer if Cunningham can step it up alittle more he does have potential to shock and upset some big names. IMO at his age he can't afford too much wear and tear anymore he also gets tired from boxing circles too much he should be more conservative with his punch output and land cleaner shots. He has the power to wear down heavys. He's never in a boring fight I hope he gets a megafight in the future. He's a credit to the sport.

    Good fighter. Being undersized at Heavyweight, he probably a really good Gatekeeper these days rather than a true contender.

    He will probably still expose some hype jobs and identify the has beens before he's done.

    I don't see a problem with Cunningham facing Visnia, 3 of his last 4 heavyweight fights have been Adamek, Fury, and Mansour- a softer touch isn't a problem.

    The 2 issues I see is 1 This is going to be the main event on an NBC show and is an undercard(for tv) fight at best. 2 Cunningham is 38 and probably doesn't have time to be messing with guys like Visnia but if he wants to thats fine.

    3 of his last 4 fights were against undefeated heavyweights totaling a record of '50-0', throw in Adamek that's last 4 of 5 at '97-2', I think he can take a light fight. But to be honest there are no light fights for him at HW, they're all heavier, heavier handed and younger.

    I'm excited to see this and scored Front Row seats so will be driving down from NYC.

    Cunningham is an underrated fighter... He was the man at CW for a while, and has only lost to Fury since moving up to HW. Most of the Cunningham hate is from Fury haters. He "sucks" because Fury knocked him our, in their minds....

    Cunningham is legit and I would love to see him break David Hayes will if they ever fought. But Haye will never take that fight.

    Cunningham, Thompson, Jennings are proven to be good. Arreola isn't bad....
