    I KNOW he was pissed up the night before Swaby.

    His frame is all wrong for HW - that's it.

    Swaby is/was **** but that left cross was top drawer and would have knocked out anyone.

    I don't think anyone claims Enzo is a great fighter but to say his chin is **** is plain wrong.

    Your right mate - people are putting too much emphasis on the fact that Haye knocked him silly when he was defenceless.

    Enzo plans to be a force at heavyweight if you judge him on his past comments.

    He has taken solid shots from heavyweights in the gym and not buckled.

    Enzo puts them two knockout losses just down to bad luck - apart from that he has never been knocked out.

    First though a clash with Herbie Hide at Crusierweight is being talked about in Swanseas local paper today.

    Then he can go up to Heavyweight and seek revenge on David Haye and he has to prove that he is better than Haye like he still claims

    I don't care how bad the division is at the moment Enzo will not be able to bag a title in that weight category.

    (1) His chin is suspect

    (2) He's not exactly Pernel Whitaker in the defensive stakes.

    (3) He's not big at Cruiser.

    Overall, the top 10 guys at HW would probably have a substantial weight and power advantage over him, and since Enzo's game isn't based on an elusive couter-punching hit-but-don't-be-hit style he would be in serious danger. Judging by the fact that he appears to be a natural Cruiser, I have serious doubts that his power will carry, and so in that case he loses the equaliser as well.

    Saying that he will still beat Banks at CW; that guy looked **** 2nite, as if someone had spiked his water in the corner at the end of the 5th round (possibly before).

    Enzo's never looked ripped as a fighter, just doesn't dry out like the rest of the cruisers, he's still In shape which matters more.

    The only time he's troubled Is when on the back foot.
