Enzo Mac - Flawed or simply Floored

Haye was just too big and too strong for Enzo - he boxed well in the first round and tagged Haye, but the moment he tried to get inside and bang he got nailed.

Enzo Calzaghe has done wonders with his technique - he can move well, has good footwork, power in both hands, and can definitely regain an ABC title.

To be honest, like most FW fighters, he needs to move away from him to be honest and go to another promoter.

 

he looked the full pakage against low level opposistion, though to be fair I thought Braithwaite was just totally done yet he looked alright against that hyped Cuban boy recently.

my initial rating of 'glass jawed journeyman exposed' was probably a bit harsh. There's no dount he had a lot to prove going in to Haye (the line about it being the top 2 cruisers in the world was bollocks, Enzo had no right to that claim) and all he proved was that he's not on the same level as Haye.

 

exactly:good

 

I think Enzo is a descent fighter, will prbs win a belt again at cruiser. But Haye is a class above, top 10p4p material. He would have beat macceranelli 99/100.

 

Why does it have to be a UK promoter?

 

not a big fan of BJ ding gave him a good go, i think enzo would ko bj inside 10

 

The cruiserweight division is really hotting up now with the emergance of several European fighters such as Kraj and Alexeev. Those two are the future of the division and I expect Hernandez to be back in the frame at some point. The Americans have Cunnigham who is ok and BJ Flores who could go onto something good. I also like the look of of Firat recently, add to that the returning Huck, Hide and a few other names the chances of easy fights for Enzo is looking tough.

I hope he gets an easy fight when he comes back in June (any news) but after that he has alot of proving to do before he get's near a belt again. Personally I can see him grabbing a Euro belt if Warren sends him that way but that task is still hard if the German promoters put forward a couple of rising stars as well. I really hope he does not get sent along the bum road to pick up the WBO belt again, I can only see him getting out classed that way. Enzo has talent and a decent all round set of skills but he needs more experience against higher level guys.


A real shame Mark Hobson has retired. I would have enjoyed a third fight between the two as Enzo's first fight back. Does Troy Ross still hold the Commonwealth belt at the weight?

 

Both IMO.

He has weaknesses, and was brutally KO'd on the night.

 

Expect an easy fight to reclaim the WBO. If Fwank wants it Fwank will get it.

 

Nothing wrong with him, he was just up against a much stronger and more dynamic fighter

He's actually pretty technically sound (wow, he's come a long way if you watch his earlier fights), decent speed and power

Who would you seriously say he has no chance of beating? I would have Cunningham and Adamek as slight favourites, but definitely not insurmountable...

 

No need to **** all over Mac's career just yet; Haye was just on a different level from him, as he is in relation to the rest of the Cruisers.

Its a tough division, but Mac can still come back (his technique has improved, but it still needs to be worked on).
