if calzghe wins does that show that american fighters are not as good as europeans?

    Not really, but I do think there's more depth in America.
    Mayweather-Hatton and Tarver-Woods recently. It don't mean that they're Eurobums though.

    I am a Phan of Philly Phighters, and cheer them on exclusivelly! But I am an admirer and appreciator of good boxing and good phighters! I have enjoyed latino fighters, asian, british, welsh (for the Calzaghe minions) etc. I don't care where they are from if they are good I want to see them. Don't get caught up in all the patriotic non-sense!

    lately all the european stars have been coming to the us with alot of hype, they have gone back loosers, and i think Calzague will aswell. Im not for the US or Europe... its just the way i feel.

    Hopkins is ethnocentric also, but the fact remains that you have such an unfounded/unhealthy pride in being English when you contribute very little to the English collective, like the English idols that you worship.

    If you don't anything Arran, it doesn't make a difference where you are born, something you aren't able to have any control over. Pride comes from living up to that standard of what you feel a great ethnic group is, which you certainly don't do that, you live in your mother's attic with a tiny TV and you're fat. End of story.

    I don't think either one is a hype job, no matter who wins...the combined ages are 79...and Joe was just about that much older than Lacy, as is Hoppy over Joe.

    if calzaghe loses it will further push the fact into the minds of americans that euro fighters booty..

    they just come over with an inflated record and fight someone with an equal record

    but 30-0 in usa is a lot more impressive than 30-0 in the uk

    No. Calzaghe is fighting an old Hopkins.
