Enzo Maccarenelli the best crusierweight in the world?

Maccarinelli is not the best cruiserweight. There's several cruiserweights who would surely defeat him, including Cunningham, Kraj, Mormeck, and Adamek.

I think the underrated Firat Arslan, who has an excellent chin and decent boxing skills, would likely beat Maccarinelli.

 

Enzo was never the number 2 in the world. That was just something made up by Frank Warren to promote the fight. Even British magazine Boxing Monthly had Enzo at about 5.

 

Hell no.

 

Exactly.

 

Cunningham and Arslan are the top CWs at the moment. Macca would rate between 5 and 10, IMO.

 

I think that's fair...as bad as Enzo got beat last time out, he does have the style to be a problem for almost everyone else out there in the divison at the moment. And a couple could knock him flat, but still, top 5 seems reasonable.

 

I understood the need to build up the Haye fight but saying that Enzo was #2 in the division was baseless, especially after Cunningham had just went to Germany a few months prior and beaten Huck. Cunningham's resume reads better and he's won his biggest fights on the road.

Other than Braithewaite, who I still contend is shopworn despite his latest big win, Maccarinelli hadn't beaten anyone of substance and was fighting very limited opposition.

 

That boy he beat looked quite talented.

 

Oh absolutely. It was definitely a good win. It made Enzo's win over Braithewaite look more impressive as well.

 

With that chin, the only thing Maccarinelli is gonna clean up is the canvas - with his drool!

 

nah Steve "I think Chris Byrd is on crack" Cunningham is a much better cruiser

 

No. Haye-Mac is not like a Calzaghe-Kessler or Marquez-Mabuza situation. Not at all.

 

agreed.
