Joe Will Never Be A Legend - Why?

Slightly different backyard. Wales, little backwater, no man's land or America, the centre of boxing since time immemorial.

 

And he got boo'd everytime he fought in the US, he only got his status when he retired and thier was sweet **** all left after him.

 

atsch

 

the centre of boxing which cant fill a 20,000 seater stadium? really? its the centre of nothing! self-proclaimed bollox!

 

I'm just waiting for the Calzaghe - Jones in Cardiff fight to be announced, I've got a million threads primed and ready to go.

"How will Jones deal with fighting away from home for the first time"

"What is the most hostile atmosphere Jones has faced"

"Will Jones freeze when 60,000 sing Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau?"

"Does Jones have a passport?"

 

If your a fighter you want to fight in America, it's that simple. Just as top football players want to play for Madrid,Milan,United as opposed to wanting to play for leeds. It's a huge lack of ambition.

 

how do you knwo this?

Why would Joe for instance want to fight in the US? He can fight in front of 50-70k in Wales, or fight in a shitty arean in the US infront of 14k! The US offers nothing in terms of event.

 

People shouldn't waste their time debating with Arran, he's a biased Calzaghe nuthugger.

 

They want to play for those teams because those are the biggest teams with the biggest crowds today.

They don't want to play for Burnley or Blackpool or Preston on the basis that those were the biggest teams in the 1930s...

The main problem with your analogy is the US is more analogous to Leeds than to Real Madrid or Manchester United.

 

exactly

 

Good answer.:good
They resented the fuk out of LL for the most part.

 

Ever heard of pay per view? England is a ****ing **** hole, that is beyond debate. You want to build a boxing career fight in America. Why does Benn get more accolades from Americans than Eubank? That's right he took risks. Calzaghe knows this he just didnt have the courage to step up.

 

PPV, yes we have that in England!

England is a shithole? Are we not talking about Wales? A different country! Where in England did you visit that was a shithole? Or are you guessing because you most likely never left the US in your life! Benn gets more accolade because he smashed up Mclellan....now Calzaghe dosent have courage? You are a **** of the highest order!
