    no I was responding to the other idiot bigot, Joe Louis is my favorite fighter and # 1 heavyweight and I am color blind when it comes talent. I was responding to another guy who thinks because Marciano was white he cant be good and the only reason we think he is great is because he is white.....if you check my post you will see a variation of my favorites Black,Jewish,Italian,Hispanic,Russian,German,Polish,...Duran,Langford,Monzon,Hagler,Briscoe,Louis,Klitschko,Haye,Marciano

    Its funny how a reply in the same context as the comment can raise certain eyebrows and rage.....I love all people but I am not ashamed to say that all ethnic groups have had their share of dominance....I see the Russians dominating Heavyweight boxing now and I wonder how it would have changed things in the past had they been allowed to turn pro and I am American from NY

    Marciano beat 5# 1 contenders 4 of them happened to be black and until now I did not realize how that irks certain people. Even a lot of whites who really believe"white men cant Jump" well they can punch as well as the next guy it seems....boxing has always been the equalizer

    I am not Italian but when a person's mother is Jewish and the father is Gentile the child is a Jew, with Italians no matter what your mother is, you are what your name suggests so you follow the father, this is more so with the boys than the girls. With Germans I think its the father as well.

    Baer never called himself "the Jewish" anything. He explained why he wore the star.

    Calzaghe calls himself "Italian Dragon" because he is of Italian descent. That is indisputable. You are denying a man his heritage? :huh

    Jim Flynn was an Italian American. His real name was Chiariglione. :roll:

    You are denying Calzaghe is of Italian descent and implying "Italian Dragon" is just a random name he decided to call himself.
