Does the average Londoner know who Joe Calzaghe is?

He has been on ITV a few times...so the name probably rings a bell, without anyone actually having a clue about any real details beyond he is a good-looking boxer.

 

wait a minute, i'd say at least 50% of Brits know who Hatton is.

 

I'm not British but I could tell you Calzaghe would be very well known in Wales and fairly well known in Britain . But it's nothing near like Ottke in Germany .

Calzaghe would be much better known in Britain than Taylor is in the states .

 

thats pretty ****in stupid logic.
There's 270 million americans and yet only two and a half million americans ordered the De la Hoya fight with Mayweather. Most americans must not know who De La Hoya is.
****** :deal

 

The average Londoner can't remember their own name

 

I'd say that at least half of all americans know who de la hoya is.

 

Anyone that has played Fight Night knows Ricky Hatton

 

Most Londoners who are interested in sport know Joe Calzaghe. It's whether they want to switch the tv on to see him that is the issue. Calzaghe is in London Lite, London Newspaper and The Metro every now and again. That is three free newspapers available to everyone on the tube all over London. If you are interested in sport you will see him in the back pages.

Calzaghe is on sports shows like Question of Sport, Sports Personality of the Year etc

Londoners who are sport fans do know of him. I'd say 95% of my work collegues know who is but that is partly because of me.

 

Joe Calzaghe is the premier fighter in the world today. He will embarrass Kessler.

 

heres another question: Does Joe Calzaghe know the average Londoner?

 

Kessler-Calzaghe is a 50-50 fight. If someone gets embarrassed it is because the man who administred the whooping is a BAAAD MAN!

 

Although Hatton has only had one fight shown on terrestrial ,a delayed showing of his fight with Urango a week after it happened was shown late at night and with little advertisement(still probably topped the 350,000 he got while on SKY) he has been on things like Late Night with Jonathon Ross , The Weakest Link , among other programmes on BBC . He has also been nominated for BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2005 and 2006 .

 

Hatton was quality on Jonathon Ross. He showed all the other boxers how to loosen up and do an interview. All the other boxers are SO boring for mainstream viewers. Typical questions over and over. Hatton livens it up a bit. Khan was on Ross and flopped in comparison. Calzaghe is quite awful in comparison.
