Press the pen to the paper men, get it signed........................
This one has gone back and forth back and forth for some time now!
But with 3 titles on the line and the prospect of a huge domestic bust up, this would be massive!
Just need to see ink before I get excited for this one! But by gum this would be amazing.
Was just about to post this but you beat me to it >:mad............... ;D
Anyways would favour Haye in this one but he needs to tighten his defence, he drops his hands to low.

dont see that one goin the 12 rounds if they sign up
I actually do!
I no that seems surprising, but Haye needs to end it to win I feel. Maccarenelli will be in danger early, but I feel he drags Haye into a mucky battle and takes it 12.
I feel should it go 12 or finish late Enzo takes it, but he's in serious danger in the first half.
I recon Haye stops him in 6.But if Enzo can roungh Haye up and get in to the second half of the fight anything can happen!
Id be behind Enzo all the way, I think he offers more punch rate and fast hands. Good stamina, chin and heart. He would take him!
CC Tam and Littlebif, we seem to be of the same fangroup.
I really like Enzo and I'll be rootin for him, but Haye is brilliant so he'll have to be in the shape of his life for it.
CC back. It will get intresting and It would be a case of who wants it more. In the case of Haye im kinda dissapointed that he has won the title and now he has just left. I dont think it proves he is the best. But i do appreciate he does find it hard to make weight.
His physique does suggest that he'd be more natural at heavy, but as you've mentioned I'd prefer him to stick around at Cruiser a little while.
:coolclick: back. He said before he won the title that it was his last fight at CW but i think he is tempted to stop at the weight cause the Enzo fight will be huge.Quote:

I see Haye entering as favourite (and the more recognised champ) so I do feel that it will not be in the Millenium stadium should it occur.
at Wembly with Hatton on the card as well, JC and Froch that would make my day!
boxing talk's got Haye saying now that Enzo turned down 500, 000 and a chance to keep his title if he lost but Haye says Enzo turned it down immediately.
Is that a bad money deal? 500, 000 doesn't seem all that bad but I'm not sure how big a fight it would be in England. Who knows, maybe its just part of the negotiations.
According to something called the South London press
I'm not sold at all on Enzo. I like him, but i don't rate him.
He does have great power but thats the only department in which he can match Haye in.
I think Haye will outbox him before knocking him out.
Haye is a one punch guy although quite a good boxer....
I don't mean a KO artist, I mean he dsoesn't use combination punching at all frequwently.
Maccarenelli does and I feel if Maccarenelli can get his defense in peak and stands chest to chest with Haye, his volume will win him the fight.
How in the hell did Haye lose to an ageing Carl Thompson? He get caught cold? Haye looks a monster at cruiser, and I havent seen enough of Maccarenelli to comment on him. I would give Haye the edge in power, Mac is a natural cruiser. I would like to see Haye invade the heavies but I dont know if he could get by against Wlad and the giants.
Haye started oh-so aggresive, had great succes early, but was drawn into the expierienced Thompsons tactical fight. Thompson traded enough to make him tire early and went in to stop in when he was fatigued and virtually neutralised.Quote:

Yeah that was the start of the much famed Haye stamina debate...
It could be making the weight that drains him so much although he has seen great improvement in recent fights.
Anyone have an idea who the heayweight Haye has in mind is? Says someone very dangerous. ???
I read that shit to. Not surprised really. Enzo always gave me the impression that he lacked in the heart department.Quote:

I agree with some of the other posters in that the further the fight goes then the more chance Maccarinelli has of winning. Against Mormeck, Haye was shot and after 5 rounds didn't seem to have anything left. He managed one last rally which won him the fight, but the stamina debate remains open. Either way, we find out the best CW in Britain, and probably the world.
Hope this does come off.....im taking Haye by stoppage.
The fight was offered to Enzo at a catch weight which he has turned down.
I cant weight for Hayes heavyweight opponant to be anounced. Brock and Byrd seem to be the names on everybodies lips.
No big surprise thereQuote:

Enzos needs this fight a lot more than Haye.
If this fight does not happen Enzo has no other big name opponents at CW to fight where as Haye would move up to HW where he will make a lot of money and fame even if he cant win a title.
If I was Enzo I would get on the phone to Frank Warren and say make it happen or else.
Enzo would take this one..Chinless, legless, stamina-less Haye thinks he's going to do better by escaping to heavyweight. I beg to differ, they hit a lot harder up there.
They're considerably less athletic and slower though. Haye's legs helped him out big time against Bonin.Quote:
