    Enzo has more chance than most, he at least has some degree of BJJ training behind him, with one minor competition in Wales that I have no idea how he fared.

    Enzo trains BJJ in between fights, I'm not sure how serious he is.

    How about Haye vs Enzo in MMA?

    I'd imagine Enzo would like to take it straight to the ground:D

    Imagine how satisfying it would be for Enzo if this were to happen and he pulled out the win.

    I reckon an MMA scrap would be even more one sided than the Boxing match, Haye just a suprior athlete (and naturally a good deal bigger lets not forget).

    Love to see Enzo in the octagon though, reckon he could make a decent go of it.

    Enzo is a big guy who could comfortably fight at 205. He has decent speed and would have a comfortable height and reach advantage. In 4oz gloves he can pop. He trains in BJJ so he has respect for it. He is by no means a complete fighter but he already has a discipline standing and grappling. No matter what it is, one discipline standing and grappling is what you need. He can add to that or just perfect his 2 disciplines. As a boxer the main issue is being put on his back, BJJ can help him deal with that. His real issue in boxing is chin and grappling would help him mask that. Enzo is the sort of fighter who I would like to see in MMA, not James Toney. Enzo is young, still hungry and respectful of martial arts. Toney is an old, shot, overweight fighter with a big mouth.
