    I am new to this forum, but from reading many of the threads here it is plainly obvious that Joe C's mistake through-out his boxing career was not being born American.

    Had he been, he would in all probability be lauded as the best P4P in the world universally through-out much of his career.

    There is no place for patriotism when assessing boxers relative strengths and weaknesses compared with other fighters.

    There are a few Americans on here who can be objective when talking about Calzaghe.

    A lot of people, I don't know if they are all American, are haters.

    i know americans dont have no loyalty to there sporting professionals ....but i personally think they just dont like it when europeans beat up on them. come on man look at the hype chad dawson is causing in america and his a bum, imagine if calzaghe was american he would have beaten barack to presidency by tko.
