I thought his win over Enzo meant more than the win over Mormeck
Well.. I did say arguably

Calzaghe-Kessler was a more MEANINGFUL fight, for sure.

But Calzaghe was ALREADY an established proven champion. Losing to Kessler could have been easily explained as a changing of the guard. Time caught up with oldman past his best.

Haye's whole future career was on the line against Mormeck. A loss would have set him back MILES. Would Haye have all the heavyweight hoopla he currently has if Mormeck had beaten him? Of course not.

Calzaghe was the favourite. Haye was the underdog.

Calzaghe had home advantage. Haye was in the other guys backyard.

(Enzo was always gonna be easier for Haye to KO than Mormeck - regardless of age )
