    True. After Calzaghe, these are my two favourite British fighters so I'm delighted to see them in action against each other. I think its a massive mistake for Haye to stay at CW but it'll be good while it lasts!

      The only way this won't end in a KO win for Haye is the weight issue. Maccarinelli, although a solid fighter hasn't showed much in a way of being able to cope with Haye.

          I cant see any real solid arguement to say enzo will win, although i like the man.

          The skill and better opposition are clearly with Haye, and thats a result of better management who concentrate on boxing rather than creating celebrity cash cows who fight part time teachers.

          I really hope this is in london, I went to cardiff twice last year for boxing and spent a fortune. Plus the O2 is much better than the millenium stadium for boxing.

            The ONLY reason Haye is taking thiks fight with Macca is for the £1million he will be earning.
            I don't understand how anyone can pick Macca who's BEST result was against an inactive fighter who is 3 losses from his last 4 who doesn't hit as hard as Haye.
            The Braithwaite win flattered Enzo and he had to work hard to get it.
            The ONLY problem for Haye is the weight issue BUT if he is as strong as he was against Mormeck then he should easily beat Macca.

              Dude...Skillwise they are not even close.

              I would put my entire points on Haye to win. If the fight was at Heavyweight Haye could have killed him, but as Cruiserweight he will knock him out silly. Enzo will get a reality check after this fight. Enzo has been protected and padded his record fighting very small guys with a small KO percentage, add to that fighters with 7 or 8 losses who have stopped a lot of time. Speedwise its not close, Skillwise its not close, the Power, Haye has the edge.

              Enzo's only chance is if Haye is weight drained but im sure Haye has prepared himself for that as he has got 3 months for this fight.

                Haye may well indeed win, but it wont be easy as Enzo is actually a world champ. So he has earned his right to be fighting Haye and vice versa.
                And it coiuld go to points this one. People so certain it wont go the distance though.

                    i'm backing haye but it won't be easy. like someone said, i can see him getting kd'd on the way to a ko victory. haye has matured since his one loss and doesn't go charging in from the opening bell any more. macca similiarly is a lot more careful lately.

                    i reckon this is going to be a 7th or 8th round tko win for haye.

                      it is pretty ****, theres plenty of bad views to be had in there, i've been twice for boxing, the first time i paid 170 (good old warren prices) for a naff view in a freezing cold stadium.

                      The O2 is a much better venue from a spectator perspective.
