    If you think about it his career never got started at world level. At least he never proved himself as belonging at that level. To me he's a one hit wonder with his win over and older and inactive Braithwaite, that was a decent scalp. Other than that the only world class opponent he fought was Haye, we know what happened. Now this shock loss to an unheralded sparring partner for James Toney.

    If I was Frank Warren I'd give up on this WBO route. Take him down to European level. Cruiserweight is very strong in Europe, it will be tough.

    Based on how he seems to be lacking in the chin department, and also his mental lapses where he can be outboxing an opponent and then get clocked easily with hayemaker right hands...I think he may even struggle in Europe.

    No.

    When you lack good boxing skills and can be knocked out by one-punch, your not going to rule at cruiserweight, it's a tough division.

    With a fresh new start with a new trainer, he may have a chance.

    He needs a trainer around him 24/7 to stop him doing stupid things. Why the **** did he think dragging tyres would be more beneficial in the lead up to a world title fight than sparring?

    Yes he can. The cruiserweight division is not particularly strong and he has already beaten some world class opponents. A change of trainer may help but is not essental in my opinion.

    I don't think he will be able to grab another title. All the champs either have more than enough power to put him out or will be able to outbox him comfortably, with perhaps the exception of the WBC belt holder Fragomeni. But I can't see him going through the EBU etc, to get a shot at the WBC.

    I think he can comeback but to be a force would be over stretching it.

    It's a mental thing for him as he is a good fighter. I'm going to be supportive and say yes.

    Enzo was tired, took a few big rights hands that shook him but the coup de grace was when they were infighting and he got caught behind the ear. After that his body betrayed him and all that was needed was one big shot to seal the deal.

    I'd put the tiredness down to lack of sparring.

    No.

    Plus i think Enzo seems to be falling out of love with the game, because in every other interview i hear him talikg about going to the UFC and MMA in general.

    As for the boxing side he got hurt and ko'd by an ordinary puncher and i think if he does carry on he should change trainer and perhaps promoter.
