    Clinton Woods?
    Glen Johnson?
    Roy Jones?
    Michaelchewski?
    Tarver?

    I give him a good chance vs Woods, Johnson, Michaelchewski and Tarver.

    Would of been knocked out by all of them accept Clinton Woods. Enzo Mac is not a natural light heavyweight, he is weight drained, and needs to be saved from his ******ed ways. Its borderline Criminal Negligence for Enzo Calzaghe as a trainer to let Enzo Mac campaign at LW. I saw nothing wrong with him at CW, he was not shot physically, he still had serious ability.

    Are you serious? Who has Enzo beat to even think he could compete with the majoirty on that list Braithewaite :lol:.

    Woods v Enzo maybe could of been a mini classic but Woods has a great chin he would of stopped ENzo late, the others on the list are in a different league to Enzo.

    funny thing for me is enzo on paper is nowhere near as good as i have seen enzo perform in the ring...even in his losses.
    a lot of the problem with enzo mac, for me, is having enzo calzaghe in his corner...he's really showed his limitations with enzo mac.

    Each and every one of them would have beaten Enzo.

    He's never been a good enough straight puncher to be top class. Always looking to dip in and dig in with hooks, which for a big guy like him would always leave him a sitting dick for counters, at whatever weight. Lacks patience as well.

    he outboxed braithwaith pretty easily.

    woods was nothing special

    johnson would have been difficult and may have developed into a war

    tarver would probably have been able to outbox him as would darius.

    prime roy jones... well its not even a contest

    He would have beat all of them except Roy Jones and Maaaybe Tarver at a push.

    People underestimate Enzo big time, he just got caught with some big shots by fighters who have gone on to do great things at cruiser

    Haye - Won Heavyweight Championship, Took Wlad the distance - Only loss to the Cat
    Afolabi - Went onto take Huck the Distance - Undefeated
    Lebedev - Controversial fight against Huck, KOd Jones, Dominated Toney - Undefeated
    Frenkel - For some ******ed reason has been inactive? - Undefeated

    Enzo seriously just needs to learn to keep himself in better shape, and there is a big weight difference at Cruiser, 25 llbs. I believe Macca could do well down at 175

    He would get mullared by every single one of them, without exception...easily

    All that that demonstrates is that every time that Enz steps up he has had his arse handed to him...you shouldn't be analysing his losses, you should be looking at his wins.

    Woods would muller him? Seriously? I think Enzo is the more skilled of the two.

    Johnson has a big chance because of his chin and pressure so I'll give you that.

    As I said about Roy, it's not a contest and Enzo would probably do just as bad as Clinton did.

    I think you'd be wrong...Woods could box, properly box, teak tough and wouldn't fall for the balls out hook attack ...he'd show Enzo up IMO. Anyone who has decisions over Johnson and Gonzalez on their slate would be way too much for Mac.

    He would have KO'd the lot of them. There would have been much shattering of supposed iron chins.........

    Ola wasn't undefeated when he fought Enzo.

    Clinton Woods has beaten world class fighters at LHW, He is one of toughest fella's i've seen from these shores in recent times. He possessed decent fundamentals and could grit it out when needed against top fighters like Gonzalez and Johnson.

    Enzo was nearly and for some beaten by Hobson in first fight, His WBO reign was really poor in defence's although not as bad as say Burns who took it to new extreme's.

    For me Enzo doesn't beat any of these fighters. He put's up decent displays and comes close in fight against Woods who never made life easy for himself.
