    Beating Enzo meant that Haye became the first guy in the history of the Cruiserweight division to successfully defend his linear title. Holyfield, Mormeck, Bell, none of them managed to do it (or in Holyfield's case, bothered to do it).

    That's a Trivia Pursuit question of the future...

    So the moral is - God bless Frank Warren, guardian of the Cruiserweight linear championship.

    Theres an idea for Frankie W. Put Macca in with Carl and if he beats him then fwank can tell the world (or should I say Sun readers) that Macca is better than Haye.

    That would be a lot funnier if it weren't so very possible.

    There was some kind of awkward situation where the WBO was going to sue him or something, he had a layoff and then a very close scrappy bout with a french guy, and given his age and ring-wear Thompson decided to call it a day.

    fredric serrat or something i seem to recall, i thought he lost that fight, would have thought he would have had one last title tilt though
