    How many light heavys do you think would be able to go up and beat enzo?

    The light heavies are terrible, so only Dawson. Even his chin is questionable, and I doubt whether he could take a cruiser's shot

    well you know all of the light heavys like:

    dawson
    woods
    johnson
    jones
    hopkins
    tarver
    diaconu
    erdei and so on

    in my eyes someone like hopkins would have the best chance crafty great counter puncher

    but even hopkins is way to small in my eyeseven maccas jabs would start to hurt hopkins

    in my eyes the light heavys are either too small or not good enough

    Dawson UD Macca - No! Macca wouldn't land first!:nono

    Diaconu KO 7 Macca - if he can take a bodyshot or five :yep

    Calzaghe TKO 10 Macca

    The rest are 50/50.

    Mac's actually a good fighter, he'd get through them all apart from maybe Dawson.

    Maccarinelli is too big and heavy handed for the light heavys.

    macc's a bigggg guy and i think that he could handle the shots from most of them and would probably ko or decision them all,apart from hopkins who although is much smaller his skills are that much better and i could see him taking macc in a decision.

    Tomasz Adamek (former Light Heavy) would probably win by UD or maybe even KO him in late rounds.

    I'm Adamek fan but I doubt he could win this one. Mac lost his last fight but he is still very good boxer. He would kill Adamek's body.

    Adamek gets hit too much and isn't a big enough puncher to worry Mac in return.

    Who said Johnson and Tarver? :patsch

    As far as I can see, only Dawson has the speed and skill to win. Enzo's got good stamina and a decent jab; he fires too many of them for somebody like Hopkins to deal with. If Taylor's activity gave him trouble early on, then Enzo will certainly do better.

    As for the rest, the size and power advantage he holds is too great.

    Jones is clearly a better fighter P4P, but the last thingk he needs to be facing at this stage of his career is a big hitting, high output fighter. He'd shell up completely and look to survive. If you remember how gun shy he was against Tarver, what do you think he'd do against an even bigger hitter?

    It took an enormous, big hitting fast cruiser to deck enzo. None of the light heavy's would beat enzo. He's a fit 197 lbs with a suspect beard at cruiser, but he punches way too hard for fighters who come in the ring at 183-187 come fight night. Maybe dawson by UD unless he gets tagged. Chad has to get by johnson 1st, and that's gonna be hell to do.

    i feel that none o them would beat him.

    and there is no way in hell that calzaghe would stop him calzaghe doesnt even hit that hard for a super middle let alone stopping maccarinalli who is naturally 2 stone bigger.

    Maccarinelli's chin is a lot less suspect in my book having seen him take three clean flush shots from David Haye and still be upright. His defence, not so good.

    Maccarinelli once claimed to walk around at 195lbs, in which case I'd question why he doesn't fight at LHW himself.
