    It was nice of him to explain what was meant by east and west coast, or maybe that was done for the Americans on here.

    Marauder the old tooth joke is quite good, but it does not take away the fact your country is a country of mugs. You believe the hype about America, just because you all say you are great does not mean you are. How can you even compare yourself to another country when 90 % of you never even apply for a passport ? 90% of you don't even consider going abroad. Inbreds.

    You are a scared nation all the bull**** about war on terror. Be vigilant blah blah blah you funded the taliban against the Russians and now they are evil in your minds eye ? You are afraid to fight a war on your own, i understand its because you have never won one on your own , home of the brave my ass. You are a nation the whole world laughs at, yet you think you are fantastic. You are like that thick **** everyone had in their class at school who thought he was smart and really everyone was laughing at him.

    Oh and for a really devoutly Christian country do you know why Jesus was not born in America ? God could not find 3 wise men or a virgin

    Yes, and I'm an American.

    The reaction to Joe is similar to that with PBF, where people are unbelievably desperate for Joe to lose so they have something tangible to criticize him about. The difference between the two fighters, however, is that Joe was fighting real threats (Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins) near the end of his career and moving up in weight to face them, whereas PBF was fighting shot part-time fighters (ODLH), making another move up in weight (Hatton) and avoiding/retiring because of others (Margarito, Williams).

    Joe is an all-timer, and undefeated, and many Americans can't handle it. If he gets by the dangerous Roy Jones, I really hope he takes on Chad Dawson. That's the only fight left for him now.

    (My emphasis.)

    Really, that had me laughing. Roy hasn't been a killer since sometime in his SMW days. Since then and up until his defeat in the second fight with Tarver, he used his talent, skills and overall amazing athleticism to win decisions, so perhaps in that sense you could call him 'dangerous', but even that RJJ is no more.

    It's okay to be honest with it: it's a money fight. Let's hope Roy pulls out that one last great performance that every old great is capable of doing, but even then he isn't likely to win. (I say this, because it might give us flashes of how a fight between them would look in both of their primes, and also because I don't want to see Roy knocked out once again.)

    However, I do concur regarding Dawson, although if Calzaghe is firm regarding his retirement, not facing Dawson shouldn't be held against him.
