Now that's a different story.

    And back to the first point I made in this thread isn't the Maccarinelli fight one of his career defining fights or is that now looked on poorly since Macca has been demolished a few more times since then?
    It was considered it because Haye said he was moving to Heavyweight and he was accused of ducking Maccarinelli. There was alot of question as to why he wasn't taking the fight as they were considered to be on par with each other and as both were British it was seen as a Benn-Eubank type situation. Haye always insisted they weren't on par, and he would destroy Enzo within 2 rounds. He did, and people were made to look stupid.

    Thank you, I owe you some rep (gotta spread some around first). That's all I asked for.

    For me it is Mormeck to become (un)disputed cruiserweight champ.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
