Why are the Ward crowd so butthurt about Calzaghe?

paqistani from UK will never get it ,they can't get it ,just like they can't fight.

 

lol, im sure you're gonna get jumped on for this statement, but its not really a "racist" statement.

To a large extent, this is true, and it speaks more to those who feel connected to a fighter in whatever way. There will be a heightened level of pride and ownership involved, with a loss of objectiveness. Here's some obvious reasons why there are "Hardcore fans"

*Fighter LOOKS the same (fan visually identifies w/ fighter)
*Fighter comes from same country (national pride)
*Fighter becomes local favorite (local pride)
*Fighter suffers from & creates issues (sympathy fan)
*Fighter comes from comparable upbringing (empathy fan)
*Fighter always underdog/no respect (sympathy fan)
(so liking a fighter cuz he looks like you/same skin color is alright in my book)

im sure there's plenty more out there, but the bottom line, there really is not a problem being a "hardcore fan" for whatever reason you are, as long as you dont get too antagonistic towards others and lose all sorts of logic and objectivity.

Please stop the troll threads on both sides lawlz

 

I got that point of view years ago, but thank you for taking the time to type it.

I dont see why kids growing up these days are bound by it when the perception of colour is constantly evolving from what it was. No way is black of the 19th century the same as 21st century black.

You've said yourself that other 'racial groups' identify with black culture, which directly reflects 'blacks' and 'chinese' identifying with white culture. But besides the amalgamation of cultural source material, I come across girls and men everyday of 'mixed' heritage who are impossible to stonewall as black simply because of a barely noticeable difference in skin tone. Are you saying this is the opposite of America? You'd need to look REALLY HARD to notice any giveaway feature on some of these individuals, and the gene pot is going to get a lot more mixed than that in coming years.

 

they both have horrendous styles, but Ward has accomplished in far less time what it took Joe 15 years to do. Plus Ward does not slap so his style is slightly more bearable. I'm nopt a fan of either fighter but Ward deserves more props. Both very good though.

 

Are you African-American?

If not, then how could you possibly know how "most blacks think"?

 

Just because that's the way your people think, doesn't mean it's the way black people think.

Projection much??? :think

 

He's an expert bro. He knows everything about black people.

He even had a conversation with one once. :roll:

 

Some of those are equally as laughable (although there are a few good ones in there).

Joe Cal definitely doesn't mesh with Rocky music. Rocky went to Moscow for nothing. Joe wanted the crown jewels to get on a plane.

 

Was 168 even as relevant back in the 00's?

 

Because we know Calzaghe is a God that can not be matched. We prop Ward up because we know Calzaghe's legacy will always cast a shadow on Ward's achievements. It's an Ali Holmes situation all over again.
