    How did Enzo Macca become a "World Champion"?

    Can any Macca fan's tell me who he beat for his crown?
    And the World class opposition he has defended it against?
    Thanks for any info.
    Much appreciated.

    World champion and your ex Johnny "The Entertainer" Nelson gave up the highly prestigious WBO Cruiserweight championship through injuries.

    Enzo then fought for the vacant belt against the mighty Mark Hobson.

    He's defended it against world ranked and live challenger Bobby Gunn, then against a motivated and peak Wayne Braithwaite.

      For the benefit of any Americans reading: I was being ironic.

        So thats where these people get the idea that Macca is the more proven Boxer then?
        There was me thinking David Haye had beaten the real World Champion at Crusierweight.................
        Those mad skillz of Macca eh?
        Plodding & Snotting his way over 12 rounds against the livewire on form tip top Braithwaite.
        That was a sight to behold.
        And if you watched it in Britain you could have heard the brainwashing from the Brit commentators who gleefully explained what a "Result" it was for Macca to labour for 12 rounds against an inactive once decent fighter in Wayne....

          I think if you do your research you'll find that Mormeck is French, Braithwaite is American. Case closed.


          (Moof, when Johnny Nelson purses his lips when he looks at Nicky Piper on the SKY TV introductions, is it true that he's doing it thinking of you?)

            When Johnny "The Entertainer...." Nelson purses his lips he is pondering how he got away with claiming to be the Cruiser World Champ without ever beating the Champ.
            He is also squeezing a fart out.

              Yeah Enzo only won the bout because Nelson retired and then beat Hobson on points after getting dropped himself I think. He did however **** him out early in the rematch with Hobson.

                Enzo didn't get dropped by Hobson

                    Probably better calibre than Gurov & Fragomeni too.....
