Where is IBF Champ Steve USS Cunningham?

just asking a point that is never answered.


how much has team cunningham offered/will offer/possibly offer/might offer/feasibly offer/ to team haye to make this fight.


it looks to me as if team cunningham want `s a haye fight but they do not personanlly want to pay for it , but want the haye camp to stump up the money.

 

Silliest thread of the year award!atsch

Its all moot as although USS is a decent world class fighter and probably the best in the division at the moment. Haye does seem to be on a different level. More speed,strength and power than USS can handle. Also he's gone up in weight for a greater challenge. I doubt Haye cares weather USS has called him a ducker and I don't think we should either.

 

alot of fighters often say after a fight that they will be back into the ring very quickly but as in this case, those are often empty promises.

The only Champion who really defends his belt every 2-3 months is Steve Molitor

 

Big Reg answered it one time when I asked it. He said he 'didn't know'.

 

Fights get made because each fighter brings to the table something that the other thinks worthwhile. Whether that be a sum of money or earning power, a belt, prestige, an opportunity for advancement, whatever.

Witter and Cotto are not exactly in the same position as thrie respective desired match-ups appear likely to stick around their divisions for a while, which gives slightly more options.

Witter would be the most analagous to Cunningham - poor fanbase, poor earning potential. He has, at least, made somekind of offer to Hatton (he offered to fight for free...). But, in answer to your question, yes he should be conentrating on what he can bring to the table to make himself the prime fight for Hatton. In Witter's case that means he should be out there trying to beat the likes of Malignaggi and Torres, instead of whingeing in the media about Hatton.

 

Answer this question. Neither Cotto nor Witter have made offers to Mayweather or Hatton. Given that this hasn't happened, do or do you not believe that they both want to fight the tog fighters in their respective divisions?

 

Awhile back in Philly I was training at a gym that Steve Cunningham was training at as well...maybe it was his usual gym, I don't really know.

I didn't know who he was then, all I knew was he was the scariest, biggest black guy I'd ever seen and with a goatee that made him look like the devil. He must cut down to make 200 lb because he is a big sonofabitch.

I hope he does well, and eventually either moves up or gets a fight with Haye.

 

edit

 

I believe that Witter and Cotto would love to fight Hatton and Mayweather (I also believe that the second will definately happen and the first more likely than not).

I believe that Steve Cunningham would like to have had the chance to fight David Haye. I've never questioned his desire to test himself against the best or his willingness to go where he needs to go to get fights (not that many that are too keen to travel to Poland or Germany). I'm an admirer of him and believe him to be the most obvious number one in the post-Haye division. I also believe that he realised that he had nothing to tempt Haye into actually fighting him and his comments around the Haye/Maccarinelli fight were aimed at getting a bit of cheap publicity and positioning himself for when Haye vacates the belts.

 

The IBO and WBU are not on the same level as the IBF and no one said they were. The point I was making is that idiots would make the there's always another fighter out there argument... perhaps you don't know what a divvy is.

As I said everyone and his dog knows that Haye is the man at CW, fair play to USS for wanting to fight the best but unluckily for him Haye's future is elsewhere. Of course if he gets starched by the first good HW he fights he might be back down again, but I doubt that is going to happen.

 

Damn right!!!!

:good

 

Isn't BJ Flores his mandatory?

I suppose he's got another fight available before then.

 

He should come to Wales and have his ass kicked by Maccarinelli.
