    The sad thing is that Maccarinelli SHOULD have been fighting for the British Title when he first fought Mark Hobson. Hobson WAS the British Champ but decided to fight for Enzo's WBU belt instead... :patsch

    Thank God we don't see too many of the crap belts in Britain anymore...

    From what I remember, Naz would have fought for the British title but was too young (under 21) so he beat Belcastro for the European title instead.
