BBC top 10 British P4P from January

What were they smoking to put Enzo above Haye.

Still don't think Haye is quite at Joe's level yet. Put him at number 2.

 

The real question is, what in the name of **** was Steve Collins smoking?
------------------------------------------------------------------


"People love to see fighters who can knock people out and Enzo can knock people out and that's what's appealing about him.
I have often wondered why he hasn't gone up to heavyweight."
"I believe he could become a great heavyweight champion. I think he could surpass everybody. He's got the physique, he's got the size, he's got the power."


But Collins said: "David Haye has not convinced me yet. He has been involved in one or two good fights, but he hasn't convinced me yet that he's a great champion."

"If I was David Haye's people, I would probably would have held him back a bit because I don't think he's ready for it.
"I don't think he's good enough for Enzo Maccarinelli. I could be proved totally wrong but that's my feeling right now.

 

He's a moron. Everything he said was to put Haye down and make Enzo look better.

 

Ah **** Steve Collins. I always hated that muppet.He was well overrated and probably high on Guiness when he made that stupid comment. Fookin twat.

 

Your list should be entitle 'Ten British fighters I can think of'.

 

Looks about right.

 

Steve Collins is an arse, his entire career ammounted to 'one or two good fights' and they were taken at the right time.

 

Arthur is above Rees, no doubt. His skill set is superior, full stop.

 

Haye clearly should have been above Enzo before they fought..what a complete joke.

Its not the first time iv laughed at the bbc rankings though..do u remember they had Howard Eastman ranked above Joe Calzaghe?

Whoever makes these rankings is very biased or severly ******ed

 

I'll go for the latter. :good

 

Exactly, they could have at least tryed to make the summary for Maccarinelli look better then Haye's :roll: .


4. Enzo Maccarinelli - cruiserweight
Swansea (28-1, 21KOs)
Maccarinelli, the WBO champion at 200lb, faces London's WBA and WBC king David Haye in March. It may not last long, but it is certain to be a classic for as long as it lasts.

5. David Haye - Cruiserweight
London (20-1, 19KOs)
Haye took Frenchman Jean-Marc Mormeck's WBC and WBA titles in Paris in November and is set to fight domestic rival and WBO champion Enzo Maccarinelli in March.

 

Haye has to be number one now. He's done exactly the same as Calzaghe but much more impressively. Calzaghe two with Hatton a close third and Witter 4th.

 

Not quite... For me Haye would have to have a few defenses and beat Cunningham too to equal Joe. Joe either has the belt or rightfully should have it for every belt at smw. David does not have the same claim to the 4th belt like Joe has. Don't discount lengevity either - its hard to stay at the top, arguably harder than getting there in the first place. I'd also argue SMW is a deeper division. Haye's recent wins are very, very impressive but you just cant match Joe's record in so few fights.

Now if (I mean when) David gets a title at heavy I think I'll swap em.

 

Calzaghe still holds number 1 for me and will until he retires in the not too distant future.

The fact calzaghe is a 10+ year champion and undefeated cannot be ignored.
Eubank, Lacy and Kessler > Enzo and Mormeck

But time is on Haye's side and he may well surpass Joe if he picks up some heavyweight belts.
