    I think if Enzo Maccarinelli does well at cruiser he has got the power and height to move up the weight to heavy , and also seek redeption over David Haye .

    Although Enzo is tall, his frame is pretty small, Enzo claims he could make Light Heavyweight, and looks soft at cruiserweight so why would he make a step up to heavyweight?

    Why would he ?? well if he unified the division , and the poor state of the heavyweight scene it would be a obvious choice !!

    Hes more suited to move up to Heavy than LightHeavy

    He is unlikely to unify anything to be fair, so this situation aint going to happen.

    :rofl

    He ain't unifying ****, he has a padded record and would fail badly against a decent heavyweight.
    Check out a fight he recently had against a guy called David Haye, it'll be on youtube probably.
    That fight showed him up for what he is...weak.

    I really like Enzo but unlike Haye, he can easily make cruiser all day long. He walks round at 14st all the time. Heavy I feel would be a step too far. Anyone remember when a similarly built Glenn Mcrory tried years ago...Lennox tore him a new arsehole. he does have decent handspeed though. Even Haye said as much after their fight. I think he can actually be the man at cruiser so he should stay where he is

    he should go down to light heavy, like all fighters at enzos gym apart from joe he is over weight.

    rees - a fat light welter naturally a bantamweight
    pryce - a fat light middle naturally a light welter
    macca - a fat cruiser naturally a light heavy weight
    lockett - naturally a light middleweight

    I think the media pictures of Macca do him no favours. I met him in person a couple of months ago and the guy is very lean and slender at 14st. I certainly wouldn't call him overweight. Some guys genetics don't lend themselves to huge pecs and six packs but that doesn't mean they are overweight. Don't forget he's 6ft4 and I would think he would need to virtually kill himself to get down to 12st 7

    Wasnt he talking about light heavy the other day...?

    He'd look too fat at heavyweight, he's cruiser in my eyes and should stay that way.

    I think he is too small. He would be better of at 175 than moving up.
