Haye V Enzo Signed Pic for £200 Online

Another interesting nugget of information........

Haye took over 2 minutes to get to the ring from Jimmy Lennons intro.

Enzo took under 30 seconds from Jimmy Lennons intro.

 

I think it was Pride Of Wales who said before...............


Enzo Calzaghe was down the pub in Newbridge / Cwbrawn and he told all his mates down there

Enzo lost the fight - cos in the dressing room before the fight - his ass completely went.

Enzo Calzaghe is so mentally strong - he really meant it when he said Enzo was going to destroy Haye in the build up.

 

Basically Maccarinelli had won the WBU and WBO Straps.

He had spent the last few years from 2003 to 2008 saying he was the best Crusierweight in the World.

He wanted Johnny Nelson and James Toney and O Neil Bell and all them big name guys.

The local Swansea paper was right behind him - releasing articles in Swansea Evening Post - saying how he is going to be the first man to Unify all World Crusierweight titles since Evander Holyfield.

He planned to be the new Prince Of Wales Boxer - once Joe Calzaghe had retired.

Anyway - finally he had the chance to unify proper world titles - against David Haye in a Big British Showdown.

But - Enzo suffered major mental meltdown and was destroyed.

Basically - he was not the best crusierweight in the world - he wasnt what he thought he was.

 

Plenty of people will tell you with hindsight it was obvious Haye would win.

But plenty of experts - Colin Hart for example - all tipped Maccarinelli.

It was called the biggest British fight since Eubank and Benn - 15 years previously.

But as soon as Enzo galloped to the ring with his hair messed up - it started to seem that maybe things were not so well for Maccarinelli.

Its not like you to make such a schoolboy error GazOC.

I'm talking about between 2003 - 2008 - when Maccarinelli was saying he was the best in the world.

His originial long target was Nelson - and he wanted him pretty much from 2004 onwards.

At that time - Haye was only just a mooted UK rival - cos Haye was up and coming

And Enzo was already a World Champion - gunning for Nelson.

He also then set his sights on O neil Bell , etc.

The Haye fight only reached a real possibily when Haye was Euro Champ in about 2007 and when he won the World titles in 2008 - and the fight was finally made.

 

Dont worry about it Gaz - even Super Heros make mistakes too !!
