I think Maccarinelli quite possibly have beaten Haye if he was still in his prime when they fought.

I think Haye is a class above - pllian and simple
However - Haye is flawed and had weaknessese himself - so Enzo has got a small chance of winning
But he gave himelf no chance - as he lost it mentally - he was more exposed mentally / confidence wise than anything else - he was beaten before a punch landed

Re: Examples of decent fighters woefully out of their depth
Yes, but a lot of Maccarinelli's loss of confidence was due to the arguement with Enzo Calzaghe earlier in the day.FLINT ISLAND wrote:PrideOfWales wrote:I think Maccarinelli quite possibly have beaten Haye if he was still in his prime when they fought.

Of course I know there was a mistake the week of the fight that upset his preparations
But what was the argument with Enzo Calzaghe about ?
I could just imagine - Enzo Calzaghe in a people carrier - driving Enzo Macc up to the O2 arena the night of the fight - and then Enzo I bet was complelty dreading it
People say he lost it at the weigh in - but I disagree
He lost it the afternoon / evening of the fight
And then when they arrived at the O2 arena he was s##tting bricks

Gary Jacobs v Buddy McGirt. Also ranks up there with the worst matchmaking of all time. Jacobs on the verge of a world title gets dismantled by the under rated McGirt.

David Walker against Roman Karmazin
That whole night of boxing was brilliant. You had that, Holyfield/Toney, Casamayor/Corrales 1 and Morales/Espadas

Good call. I would put Hatton vs Floyd in there but Floyd was just too safety first. He beat Hatton in every department though.FLINT ISLAND wrote:Hatton V Pac Man

I think you mean Bentleys Nightclub was also in the Mumbles.
Not to familar with all them marina places - full of homosexuals to my understanding - not my scene
Bit too young to remeber Doras and all that
But Barons is a place I frequented between 2002 until it shut about 2004 / 2005 or whenever
I actually met Frank Bruno in Barons when he was DJing there one night - and I got to shake his hand.......................................the following week he was all over the front pages after having that mental breakdown and being taken into mental hospital
Re: Examples of decent fighters woefully out of their depth
roy jones jnr v everyone until tarver,he really was a class apart,shame he ll be remembered for getting sparked twice and carrying on too long
Re: Examples of decent fighters woefully out of their depth
Green v Leonard; lots of people v Naz.
But those are a bit unfair - you've got good fighters up against great fighters.
Hunter v Molitor is one.

Considering Khan became champ in his next few fights, and prescott was last heard of losing a decision to some dude just shows Khan had a bad night.

Oh come on look at what he beat to become champ, the night he got beat off Prescott he was in with a natural lightweight puncher, when he gets in with another one it will be exactly the same outcome.observer1 wrote:Doubt it.Hagler2002 wrote:Prescott-Khan
