the pathetic chanting of Americans at the calzaghe fight on saturday

:rofl this is just the kind of ignorance that makes these debates so ridiculous. NY is both a state and a city. The state comprises the city; the city comprises more people than all of Wales. A Knicks game at the Garden practically comprises the population of Cardiff.

Bet he know the welsh flag when he sees it:yep

 

Dumbass, the city is a part of the state. So if New York City is more known than Wales, than so is New York state. Pick up a ****ing book sometimes and start using some common sense.

 

I don't see how Chavez was nonexistant, Margarito as well and MANY others. They did fight for a long time outside of the US till they rised and were offered to be promoted by American guys who brought them where they are today. Right?

 

First of all, to call Wales a state is not incorrect because the word has many definitions, one of which reads:

7. a politically unified people occupying a definite territory; nation.

and another

9. any of the bodies politic which together make up a federal union, as in the United States of America.

I am sure being a body in the United Kingdom would also classify you as a state.

Furthermore, if Wales is such a big and important country, why doesn't it send it's own representatives to the United Nations? The truth is, for all of it's history, Wales is a part of the UK and Americans don't give a ****, and rightly so. How did Wales olympic team do last year?

Furthermore, "The

So... it has political authority that can be overruled by a federal government controlled by it and OTHER states (which, as previously mentioned, is synonymous with countries.)

Wow... it souns like just any other state in the good ol' US of A to me. Just because it has a history doesn't mean it's so special. Brits use the word country, and Americans use the word state, but it's the same thing in this situation. Most Americans can't recognize every state flag in America, and for good reason, there is almost no practical reason to have that knowledge when 99.999% of the time it is utterly worthless.

 

You would think so. This thread says otherwise

yes as they are quite easy to recognise perhaps your levels of general knowledge are alot worse in the us than other countries.

 

Is that Frank Warren in the back ground?

 

LMFAO! "Hey, where'd that ringpost come from, Mate?!" Bloody hell.

 

If New York were a country, i would agree with that statement, but it isn't. People don't care about states to the same extent of a country, especially when theres 50 of the *******s. A country's flag is something everyone in that country has great pride in, but a state flag doesn't get any global exposure, so its a stupid comparison.

 

cant see him.some of those faces are priceless though. just watched that last round again on youtube

 

what becuase one guy from england got in wrong, another was taking the **** and a non english guy got it wrong as well, come back when you have something that isn't that flawed:roll:

 

No offense, but absolutely Nobody on this planet, other than Welshmen, give a rat's ass about Wales. It's not even on the global radar.

 

New York has streets more famous than Wales.

 

:rofl Very nice.
