Looks like Enzo's next opponent is due to be named very shortly.
Intrigued as to see just how world class his next match up will be.(If it's a genuine world class operator as Enzo suggests,it means bye bye title

)

Notice they still have'nt stopped the talk about wanting Bell or Mormeck.Does anyone actually beleive they want this fight?
Fwank probably has the enough dough to make it,and Bell/Mormeck could have a lot tougher fights out there for a lot less money than what they would get off old allegedly for beating Enzo.

Imagine if it happened,how pissed off would Haye be!!!

i think we need to define terms. is enzo's definition of world class the same as ours? I fear not, and believe that the "world class" foe might actually be "European class", just as Hobson was "domestic class".

Then again, if the opponent is in the WBO top 10 he has to be "world class", does he not?

1. Firat Arslan (Int-Cont)
2. Pietro Aurino
3. David Haye
4. Vincenzo Cantatore
5. Jean Marc Mormeck
6. Johnathon Banks (NABO)
7. Nicolay Popov (Asia-Pacific)
8. Vadim Tokarev
9. Mauro Ordiales
10. Marco Huck
11. Giacobbe Fragomeni
12. Emmanuel Nwodo
13. Gregory Drozd
14. Laudelino Barros
15. Bobby Gunn

I reckon Ordiales is absolutely tailer made for a WBO voluntary. Popov my 2nd pick.

pietro aurino is a weak link in there at number 2. he ran from nelson at the york hall once and went down very cheaply when hit, i think enzo could beat him.

but i think firat arslan would KO enzo.

Rest assured folks, it'll be someone with not the slightest chance of winning, as in a WBU type definition of world class.

Remember, according to SN, Hatton won the "world" title around 5 years ago, and was defending against world class superstars everytime out.

Firat Aslan would be a good one, I like Enzo here though, Aslan is slow.

I don't think you are given Aurino the credit he deserves, Rhino. That was a long time ago and Aurino's susbesquent performances have been good. Not sure what you can say about him vs Huck mind.

Heart of a lion though Stu.

Looking at jomothepure's list, I get the worrying feeling that Cantatore could be a possibility.

I reckon Popov or Barros, he wont face Arslan until he has a mandatory due imo.

I thought maybe Cantatore but how long did it take Nelson to finally get him in the ring. Maybe the Italian will fancy his chances against Enzo more.

Still plenty of time for an old light heavy name to appear in those rankings

Dale Brown has got a fight lined up end of the month - he looked pretty shot last time, but has the angle that it was a technical decision loss.

firat arslan IS slow, but as said, he has a big heart, covers up well and can bang a bit, he is not the type of fighter that enzo should be fighting.....
