    Enzo gets inside the crusieweight limit comfortably enough by a few pounds - his walk around weight is about crusierweight limit - he is certainly no natural heavyweight - however he has said in the past once he has cleaned up the crusierweight division he his eventual plan is to move up to heavyweight. But can he cope with the big boys, can his chin hold up to some serious power punchers - is he strong enough phyiscally - the question is how far can Enzo go at heavyweight? How would he far against the likes of David Haye (rematch), Wladmir Klitishko, Vitali Klitshko, Samuel Peter, etc

    His body doesn't look like it could hold 210-220 pounds very well. Not to mention, if he can't take Haye's at 195, he isn't taking it at 215.

    Maccarinelli is still a player in the -200 division, it's very conceiveable that he could win another world title.

    He doesn't struggle to make Cruiser, so theres no apparent 'drainage' issues causing his chin, and the Hayemaker showed exactly what a top level heavy would do to him: He would be a permanent resident of ***** street.

    :lol: Harsh, but probably true. Steve Collins thought Enzo could be a good HW champ - but that was before the Haye fight.

    i know it dont make much sense - but i am going on what Enzo has stated in the past - first his mission was to clean up the crusierweight division and become the first undisputed champion since Holyfield then he was after a while going to finish his career at heavyweight. I dont know what his plans are now because all this was stated before Haye destroyed his cruiserweight plans

    he also told Boxing News editor Claude Abrahams that he wanted to top the bill at Madison Square Garden - but I dont know if he is good enough for that kind of level now. But it all depends how he can come back. He topped the bill at the O2 arena in a big fight - unforutnaletly he froze and was knocked out in two rounds. What it comes down to is Enzo was a improving young World Champion who was developing into a top crusierweight but on his first real major challenge he had the chance to prove himself No1 and he flopped.

    I think Macca at heavyweight is a very bad idea. He seems to make cruiserweight easily enough and I don't think he would carry the extra poundage well. I also don't believe that his power would transfer completely to heavyweight.
