    Yes a lot of Italians have immigrated over to Britain

    Wales' greatest ever boxer Enzo Mac was also Italian

    That's true about there being a lot of Mediterranean looking Irish and Welsh, funny how you rarely ever see any Mediterranean looking Scots, though lol

    Spadafora has an uncanny resemblance to Irish David Patrick Kelly(known for his role in The Warriors)

    Britannia was a sizable Roman colony, they pushed the older Celtic types North and West, before the Danish tribes came and pushed everybody around, Wales might be a Celto-Roman bottleneck.

    Nathan Cleverly could honestly pass as Italian.

    Oh man so much dago greatness sharing the ring that night. Y'all must've forgot about the Pride of Providence, he went out on his SHIELD unlike those cowards Jones & Hopkins, without a drop of wop marinara in their veins.

    Alright, so who stands a better chance at springing the upset versus the "bigger" guy, h2h:

    ...Perugino against Calzaghe (SMW), or Calzaghe against Marchegiano (180lb catchweight)?
