    I don't think Haye's been playing anybody at all. He just has bigger aspirations for himself for the future, and after he beats Enzo and unifies the Cruiserweight belts he'll move up to Heavyweight.

    Hopefully within 2 or 3 years he'll be a Heavyweight Champion.

      So how come he couldn't KO a spent Braithwaite who has been knocked out by a welterweight-turned-cruiserweight before? What about Mark Hobson who he went life and death with in the first fight and won a decision that could have easily gone to Hobson? I'm telling you guys Enzo might be a good boxer and everything, but his power is overrated.
      As for the question on Braithwaite, you'll have to ask Enzo personally about that. I'm not his spokesman.

      Braithwaite takes a damn good punch and he is a strong guy who has a lot of early KO's to his credit and a very good chin. I don't think it's a case of Enzo's power being over-rated, more like Braithwaite's durability being under-rated.

      Regardless, Enzo boxed a sensible fight and completely outboxed Wayne, winning every round except maybe one. Enzo might have finished Braithwaite in the 5th, had the bell not sounded right after the knockdown from that straight left and then the left hook.

      Enzo boxed very well, landing some beautiful body shots, and I can't forget the uppercut (at the end of round 6?) which knocked Wayne's gumshield flying into the crowd. Braithwaite was not comfortable in there, hence all the ****** face pulling and sticking his tongue out. BTW, Enzo injured his right hand in the fight.

      It's unrealistic to think any fighter can demolish every single opponent, even if they are spent. Braithwaite is a very strong and brave guy. At that point, he was a top 5 CW.

      Hobson is irrelevant. Enzo beat him via TKO in the first round of the second fight, some 7 months later (if my memory serves me correctly). 71 seconds into the first round, Hobson was done.

        Haye cud always make cruiser but i think hes gettin lazy makin wieght properly due to his life style and less gym work.
        Hes bigger then a cruiser because of his muscles thats all it is but he wil lose power if he started to lose muscle so no point in going down now.

            Punching power is calculated in pounds per square inch. Go work it out if you can be bothered to do the math.

            In the build-up before the Maccarinelli-Braithwaite fight, TV talked about his punch power. If you find a download of that fight, maybe you'll see it.

            Narrator: "The biggest puncher in the game, some say. Science students recently harnessed Enzo's lethal left."

            Enzo: "The force of the punch was rated at three and a half tonne. So, apparently, it's like a Transit van hitting you at 30mph".


            Are you saying he lied about his punching power on television, or are you calling me a liar?
            Not calling you a liar, I'm sure you heard what you heard. 7,700 psi, however, is a lot of force, and I'm saying that it is highly unlikely he's able to generate that much force with a single punch. It is not uncommon for fighters to overestimate their abilities. It's called hype. Doing the math is no problem, I'm just a narrow minded American and wasn't familiar with "tonne". Metric ton, yes. Tonne, no, I assume it's a British saying. Also, why would you measure force in metric tons and then surface area in square inches? That's like me saying he hits with 7,700 pounds per square centimeter, doesn't make sense.

              That punch measurement stuff is bull****. they did one for Ricky and said he punched with tons of force but he's hardly a KO artist

                Wayne Braithwaite in his last 4 fights is 1 Win and 3 losses including Enzo's defeat. Since Braithwaite lost to Guillermo Jones in September 2005, he had only fought once against a bum (15-6-0) in the past 2 years before he fought Enzo.
