Why? According to Enzo's comments he has no problem with this level of opposition. He's not Haye.
And what comments have you heard exactly? i have done a good few interviews with him and he has called out cunningham over and over, cunningham has mentioned him about once and thats it. Even bell said hims elf when he was the wbc and wba champ they had been made good offers to fight enzo, he just had his eyes set ona rematch with JMM, that and kind promoted them both...
I think people sometimes let their disspointment speak for them before they think about things. AInt no one who wanted to see enzo fight cunninjgham more than me, or if not steve, but bell or carl, but i always knew it was a long shot... why? because warren trys to pad enzo? no... because this fight is on the undercard of a mian event where the purse is working out to be roughly 10 freaking million! Joe is set to get $5 from the kessler fight, and kessler wouldn't fight for less, both are getting 5 mill, that is hudge... Yes HBO are in this, but no F****** way are they fronting the cash they do when hopkins or other big names fight, it wont even be PPV anywhere...
The reason Enzo is on this undercard (his fight contract is with ITV not sentanta) is because this will be shown in the states, otherwise he would be on a card of his own. At 26 and a world champ he is still very young, it makes sense to get him as much Us time as poss, and he will be getting a damn good pay day as it is, and gav rees too... now considering there is no extra money in this really for enzo to be on this, guys like thompson, cunnginham and especialy bell are not going to fight for peanuts are they?
I know alot of the names that were looked at, and the truth is, if you can't get a "big name" you go for a guy who will make you look good, thats how boxing works. You can look bad and win agasint a big name and get credit, if you fight a no name, no matter how good they really are you better well F****** impressive or you get slated. Ding-dong is nobody, S*** bell is only a somebody in the us to the hard core fans, so you'd be fucked if anyone general give you credit for beating the ding-dong man...
Again, this isn;t the welsh man or friend defneding enzo, i'm as guttd as anyone this isn't a top name, but you got to look at this outside of the box, from a career point of view...
