Calzaghe: "Americans are ignorant"

i say he's wrong....americans are IDIOTS

why sugarcoat it?

but ****......so are the brits, they're just as bad as each other at gassing up they're fighters

this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black......

 

Seconded.

Americans are ignorant though.:good

 

To anyone with half a brain Calzaghe solidified his standing when he beat Kessler. So he didn't have to come to the US to solidify his standing.

 

It's not hard to make a case for that if you read Too Pretty's posts here on ESB: no European fighter is anything but a Euro bum. Just imagine how many casual boxing fans like Too Pretty there are in America, if even someone like Bhops says Kessler, for example, is a bum. European casual fans have always considered the Americans the best: SRR, SRL, RJJ, Hagler, Hearns, Tyson, etc. Even when they think one of "their boys" might be better, they don't think "their boys" are better overall, in general. Americans can never accept that a European fighter might be better than the top American in a certain division, though...

...that is ignorant and sad.

But, like McGrain and you are saying...Calzaghe should talk less.

 

America is no longer the mecca of boxing but its still pretty important.

Joe is a bit of a twat for saying this. We don't need a british James Toney!

 

Calzaghe is right to a point as there are lots of ignorant Americans who know **** all about anything unless its associated with their own country & they like to hype up ANYONE that looks halfway decent in boxing just because they cant stand not being the best BUT so do the British, us Brits have ****ed many a sportsman by placing too much early pressure on them just because we feel this idiotic need to be the best at something, anything.

There is a lot of good in each (USA & Britain) but the bad smells of **** & should take a good look at themselves, it is embarassing at best.

 

Don't mean to sound politically correct but thats a wee bit of a generalisation no?

 

Yet another reason why I don't like this guy.

 

Many Amercians are ignorant and dumb
But are so are a lot of Brits.

Exactly!

If Jones is indeed to be Calzaghe's last fight, then the biggest disappointment of his career is that Joe never topped the bill in the states long ago & more frquently.

Yes, fighting in front of 50, 60,000 people in Cardiff is great, electric atmosphere, but USA is where respect is earned. If you topp the bill in America, then is no higher place in the world when it comes to boxing.

Why the fcuk did it take so long for Calzaghe to be top of a fight card in the states anyway? Its a travesty, it really is! Should have happened three years ago or more perhaps!
