would calzaghe be as underrated if he was american...

how can you underrate the GOAT






*yes, that was Internet sarcasm

 

definately not the americans would have made a right song and dance about a fighter with half of calzaghes record

 

The competition would definitely be different, he would fight (wellknown) Americans, and if he can keep his record like 46-0 then I don't think he would be underrated anymore



*wellknown because Americans knows (almost) nobody outside their own continent...

 

by the way

not 46-0, but 49-0

 

If he was Anerican he would have moved to Wales to not fight Jones.

 

Some will say yes. Some, no. This has been done to death and the arguments remain the same. But if you get to the heart of the matter, which is his general level of opposition. His not being American has nothing to do with it.

The way I see it, if you have to seriously question or steadfastly defend a fighter's resume and that fighter can boast a. 46-0 with 20 plus defenses and mulitple belts at multiple weight classes, that tells you everything you need to know about that fighter's resume.

 

:rofl

 

:yep

 

Or maybe Joe C. and Marciano deserve less credit than the get......Hmmmmm

 

I not sure he would be 46-0 if he were American. Not taking anything from him. He would have been forced to fight a peak Jones/Hopkins/Toney. A lot harder than fighting them in their forties. If he got through that then yes.

However, I can imagine he would have been huge among the Italian Americans there.

 

someone has a short memory, those forty somethin guys were still ranked highly in p4p and seen as americas best. also your forgetting about the thrashings he unleashed on eubanks and kessler:tong

 

his 0 would have gone for sure, but he would have been a superstar

 

If Calzaghe was an American fighter,then i would be ashamed of being American

That tells you alot right there
