The heaviest the guy has weighed in the ring is 210.. He has no business at HW and could still be the man at CW, with the right fights. While he may be the same size as someone like Haye, Haye at least does have HW power, Cunningham doesnt. Hes a fine fighter, but hes never gonna be able to compete with the real big men of the division.
Who cares about other divisions than heavyweight? Cunningham made the right choice and hopefully there will be many more cruiserweights leaving that non-division.
what the absolute fuk?? The guy he battered last night weighed 270 pounds. Monsour was about 245 pounds Cunningham is a top class HW
If you want to be great and you're at CW go to heavy. Even a competitive fight with a super heavy like Wlad holds more merit that winning a title at cruiser.
Are you really comparing Natu Visinia to the likes of Wlad, Joshua, Pulev,, etc? Even Fury for all his limitations was able to simply over power Cunningham in the end. Guys who are 6'5 plus, 240+ and athletic Natu Visinia is an extremely overweight guy who is 6'2 Mansour is a 40 something guy who is 6'1 and was 222 lbs NOT 245! And even then Mansour almost had him out of there.
Cunningham was winning the fight against Fury and even dropped him ffs atsch Fury used dirty tactics to get the KO and the win.
