Bobby Gunn, the WBO Cruiserweight Challenger has said that he thinks the current champion Enzo Maccarinelli is a tougher fight than Roy Jones Jr.

“I had a possible fight with Jones fall through, but to me there is no comparison with Enzo - he is the man right now,” Gunn said.
“He’s perhaps the best cruiserweight in the world, but a chance to fight such a man on his own ground is what I crave.”

I would agree with Gunn on this one. Although Roy Jones Jr. was a superb fighter in his prime, he is now well past his prime, whereas Enzo is coming into his prime and so he is the better match.

This will be Maccarinelli’s second defence of the title and will be at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday as chief support to the Joe Calzaghe fight (read more…)

Wladimir Klitschko, the current IBF world heavyweight champion is lining up a fight with the massive Nikolai Valuev, who holds the WBA Heavyweight title.

Klitschko described the Russian giant as the “toughest boxer,” and also saying “Our bout would be a real event.”

Nikolai Valuev is set to fight Uzbekistan’s Ruslan Chigaev in April and Wladimir Klitschko recently defending his title in a mandatory defence against Ray Austin, who he beat in two rounds.

Wladimir Klitschko said: “I will be keeping my fingers crossed that Nikolai will win the bout and keep his title.”

I think that a fight with Nikolai Valuev is the best move that Klitschko could make at this stage in his career. Klitschko needs to unify the belts in the heavyweight division and beat decent well known boxers like Valuev to get the respect and to be recognised as a boxing champion, not just a title holder.

If Klitschko beats Valuev then he will have two title and is well on the way to unifying the heavyweight crowns.

Do you think he can do it?
