Reminder: Calzaghe is a Welshman who calls himself 'The ITALIAN Dragon'

Rocky Marciano's original name was Rocco Marchegiano, and he was 100% Italian. He changed his name in Rocky Marciano because it was easier to spell for muricans.

 

Yup.

There hasn't been an ethnic Englishman worth a **** in years. Hatton and Froch both got schooled when they fought the very best.:rofl

 

Tyson the greatest, above Tiger? Don't think so but your entitled to your opinion.

 

I'm not the least bit impressed with Campbell, honestly.

As for Groves, the jury is still out.

I do, however, agree with your point about the role socioeconomics plays in the fight game.

 

I'm not British, but you're quite moronic if you take it down that road.
How many native American boxers ever made waves? :blood

 

Calzaghe was know as the Pride of Wales and father Enzo are originally from the italian islands in the mediterrenean sea but were based specially in Newbridge, Wales. A guy who doesn't know that doesn' know **** about Calzaghe. Now, let's put a stop on this BS of who's the real Brit, it goes to Bruno-Lennox who was actually fought in Cardiff and now this ultra-BS some mfkrs are spellin about coloured people not being american but african. Tyson is very much american and from Brooklyn just like Zab Judah and this must be close enough to Paulie Malignaggi or you thought Paulie would be close to Peter Manfredo or to Spadafora and even to Joe Calzaghe. The same way, Bernard is close to Danny Garcia. And sometimes it goes beyond frontiers and State frontiers or neighbourhoods. Arturo and Mickey became friends due to their hard fighting three fights.

 

American is neither a race (white, black, ect) or an ethnicity (English, Italian, ect) you ignorant mother*cker. It is a nationality.

What's laughable is how erudite and sophisticated you Brits think you are. Lol

 

Mind your business.

American is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Hence, by virtue of my birth here, I am just as American as any "native American."

After all, they came from some where else too, no?

 

Calzaghe is Welsh. You can't pick and choose who is what nationality based on your agenda. The guy is Welsh. Most modern Britons have mixed heritage. The place is an Island.

 

too right. and them Asians are only british because they came over and made us curries. Bloody Asians coming over here and making us curry that we consume in massive quantities who do they think they are? Eating curry doesn't make you British.


and them Normans! coming over here to England building us Stone keeps to protect us from getting murdered and raped do they think they are British?? We enjoy getting raped and murdered in our mudhuts HUH who do they think they are.

and them Anglosaxons are only British because they came over here and built us wattle and daub houses. Who DO they think they are coming over here building us wattle and daub houses? We British were happy living in caves or under a tree getting wet through in the rain.

and them ROMANS WHO DO THEY THINK they are coming over here building roads and villas and toilets? That's not British! We don't need your toilets and sanitation, nothing wrong with pissing in the bush behind our Briton mudhuts!


andWHO DO THOSE NEOLITHIC BEAKER PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE, coming over to England and building beakers for us to drink from? Nothing wrong WITH DRINKING WATER FROM YOUR HANDS! why don't they go back to Europe and leave us REAL BRITISH alone.

glad True_hero got the boot. One less troll on here.

 

What's the issue here? Joe's name the 'Italian Dragon' represents the heritage of both his parents.

Joe's Dad is Italian.
Joe's Mum is Welsh.

The Welsh flag contains a big image of a dragon. People from Wales are closely associated with dragons.

 

unfair to have a pop at anyones dads heritage. although Joe was actually English by birth.

 

This argument is pretty absurd. All the "African-American" champions have got plenty of caucasian blood in the too so in reality no country can ever really have a "clear" champion because races are mixed and only getting more so.
