"Klitschko, Worst Champion I've Ever Seen"

Enzo Calzaghe, trainer of Joe Calzaghe and other UK fighters, has taken a hefty swing an WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, calling him the worst heavyweight champion that he ever saw. He says that David Haye beating Klitschko would not be an impressive accomplishment. And went as far as to say that he could beef up his son Joe, who would probably beat Klitschko.

"Anyone can be successful at heavyweight right now. I could fatten up Joe to 17 and a half stone and he would win the title. Wladimir Klitschko is the worst heavyweight champion I have seen in my life. He's worse than Primo Carnera. I don't know him personally but as a boxer he does nothing for me at all," Calzaghe told The Ring.

Hee doesn't believe that Haye, who knocked out Calzaghe fighter Enzo Maccarinelli in the eary part of year, will be a force at heavyweight, but also feels that it's so bad at the weight that anything is possble.

"Haye has not convinced me however. He didn't spark out Enzo, so where are the massive punches going to come from? There is a lot of dead squid in the heavyweight division, so maybe he can be competitive, but he isn't going to be the saviour of the heavyweight division, not in my opinion," Calzaghe said.

Really. Vlad and Vitaly are two of the worst champions I've seen. Actually, the worst.

He didn't spark out Enzo, so where are the massive punches going to come from?

Klitschkos the worst heavyweight champions?

What about Seldon, Thomas, Berbick, Bruno?

Who thinks Frank would've beaten Wlad?

But I still wish to know: dead squid?

He doesnt rate the brothers Klitscho or the HW division right now, which is fair comment, although I have to say I think Vitali is pretty good and I give Haye no chance of beating him. Enzo doesnt think Haye is going to be the undisputed HW champ and doesnt think he has the power to stop the really big guys, again thats his opinion, and not just his, others think the same. As for fattening up Joe to 17 stone, its just a joke. Going back to the 90s we used to say you could put your grannie in a Williams and she would win races. Its the same thing, an exaggeration and a bit of fun, nothing more. Enzo M was stopped by Haye, both Enzos know that, but Enzo C points out Haye didnt spark Maccrenelli and thinks he lacks the power of the big heavies. The thread creator is suggesting Enzo is a crackpot and most of you have bought it by jumping on the bandwagon saying more or less the same. Enzo is a bit of a showman, a real character, has his opinions and voices them. Another thing is, he is bound to be misquoted at times, because most of us cant understand what he is saying.
