I am new to this forum, but from reading many of the threads here it is plainly obvious that Joe C's mistake through-out his boxing career was not being born American. Had he been, he would in all probability be lauded as the best P4P in the world universally through-out much of his career. There is no place for patriotism when assessing boxers relative strengths and weaknesses compared with other fighters.
There are a few Americans on here who can be objective when talking about Calzaghe. A lot of people, I don't know if they are all American, are haters.
the he isnt american excuse is ridiculous. are Morales,Pacquiao,Barrera,Cotto and countless others american?
Not true I haven't seen a Jones one yet ..:huh I have only seen Murals of fighters like Hopkins ..So ha your are wrong .
i know americans dont have no loyalty to there sporting professionals ....but i personally think they just dont like it when europeans beat up on them. come on man look at the hype chad dawson is causing in america and his a bum, imagine if calzaghe was american he would have beaten barack to presidency by tko.
Correct and on boxing forums for years US fans trashed Lennox...........he wouldn`t beat this guy,that guy,so and so will destroy him,he`s ducking this guy,he`s ducking that guy.........and when Lennox beat them naturally the opponent was a bum,shot,raw,fought the wrong fight.........blah blah blah same old American sh*te
