how will he deal with Enzo's power in which research shows when Enzo's left hand hit's you flush it is the same speed as a Transit Van hitting you at 30 MPH, FACT!!! ??

I don't even understand what this means. Taken literally it means that he punches at the same speed as a 30 mph van which means his punches are thrown at 30 mph which I'm not sure is what you meant?

If you are talking about power then its simply absurd and another example that people will believe anything if a scientist says it.

Ask yourself this. Which would you rather have to endure, an Enzo Maccerinelli punch flush on the jaw, OR being hit by a van at 30 mph.?

If you think the two are in any way comparable then you would literally believe anything that scientists told you.

It does sound stupid, but it actually makes perfect sense if you think about it in the right way. The way punching power is measured conventionally is by PSI. Pounds( or whatever) of pressure per square inch. So the fact that Enzo's power PSI is equal to a van travelling 30km/h is not ridiculous at all. Just think of it as if Enzo's fist were the size of a transit bus, yet he gave up nothing to achieve that size and punched with the same speed, and leverage.. Or if it's easier, imagine the bag that measured the impact being big enough so that the bus only connected on a small surface area of the bag, relative to the area of a normal bag that your fist would connect with.

Thanks for backing me up on this and it is true and the fact Dildo argued against it says everything

Sven Ottke did the same tests and was proven to punch with the same force as a fully laden milkfloat.

Sven Ottke was a Monstor for his weight though.

Ok, as I'm going to the fight I pretty much have to make a prediction.

I feel torn on this one. I like both guys, but I'm going in support of Haye. My feeling has always been that on any given day Haye would spark Enzo flat out. My concern though is that Enzo makes the weight comfortably, but it's clear that Haye looks gaunt at the weight nowadays. I guarantee that if this fight had been made at the 215lbs catchweight Haye wanted, Enzo would get raped. It's much closer now though. I've got my fears, but I think Haye can spark him before he gets himself in trouble. For your career though Haye, please make this the last fight at Cruiser, the Heavyweight division is awaitin'!
