    Part of me wants to see Enzo get banged out again so we don't have to endure the press referring to him as a "world" champion again.

    i knew there was no way macca would be fighting alexeev.

    banks is a much more winnable fight and still decent enough to regain macca some respect.

    You are beginning to sound like a broken record mate.

    Like it or now the WBO Belt is considered a world title. Yes it's the 4th most prestigous but it's not as if it's as lowly respected as the WBU or IBO.

    Come on Enzo!

    Depends who you ask. People who have a vested interest in recognising WBO "champs" are bound to say it's a fourth world title. People who are a touch more detached from the situation will recognise that three belts is already more than enough.

    This fight will tell us who is the real "world champion" of the Cruiserweight division since David Haye moved up. Alexeev should beat both guys but he has not been tested against a top 10 fighter yet so I am not surprised his team have kept him out of a title shot at the present time. The division has a few other good fighters but no one of real quality, I like Kraj but fear he is abit too plodding to be a long term champion. Cunningham is an average fighter who no one cares about, probably the most pathetic world title holder in the sport currently active.

    Cunnigham was widely recognised as the number two of the division before Haye moved up so I don't think he can be dismissed.

    Yep. But Haye was widely considered the only fighter worth taking a note of in an awful division before he moved up. Cunningham can not be dismissed but that is because the quality at the top end of the division is not so great, not because he is a genuine great fighter. He was just the 2nd best of a bad bunch.

    Probably better than Cunningham ? He is better than Cunningham, even Hobson is better than Cunningham.

    True lol.

    He was running past my house the other day with his hat pulled rite down so maybe he's starting to listen to people!

    Whats not to like about him is the fact that once he regains that belt he & Warren will continue with the original plan of home defences against nobodies. Tell me you don't think that will happen.

    Enzo is a nice guy.

    However, Alexeev would be done for murder if he fought the peacock-haired Swansea favourite.

    The pedigree between the two would be like comparing welsh domesticated ***** cat to a Siberian Tiger.
