    True, that is his big win.

    But you have to be subjective too. Enzo is neat, and tidy, is very heavy handed. He's just chinless.

      You can tell you have never laced up a pair of gloves cos you have no respect for fighters and dont know just how hard boxing is. Enzo is no tomato can he was a solid british fighter who was once number 2 in the world according to ring mag.

This guy is one to watch, also according to freddie roach he has sparred and had the better of toney!

        you stole my post cause I was fixing to post the samthing. Yea he has James Toney wriiten all over him, plus i think he has better size, And probably won't eat his career away like Toney did.

          He beat a tomato can today in Enzo Maccarinelli today, but he will not get past the much better Ramirez.
          do you even know what a tomato can is tunney?

          enzo may not be a top p4p fighter or anything, but hes most certainly not a tomato can....

            He's a bit too lazy in the ring but he's good to keep an eye on, he has the right tools to be a titlist but turns in sparring partner mode a bit too much for my liking.

              hes good but his skills arent on the level of toney

              and freddie roach says all sort of crap "khan has faster hands than manny blah blah blah"

                Do you think this could be helped by a move back to London, and being made into an attraction?

                  It would help with his popularity which would in turn make him more money but I'm not sure if that's the best idea for him, he trains in the Wild Card where he has sparred with countless numbers of top level fighters, he wouldn't be able to get the same type of sparring in the UK. And the input of Roach and Moorer would be hard to replace so I think he should stay where he is but start fighting more in the UK.

                      yeah that would be great, the best of both.

                      But it must be difficult to turn the screw on fight night when you're chief role is not to get beat up, and frustrate worldclass fighters. Maybe he needs to be the boss now and again?
