Joe Calzaghe's reputation in the US

He is not as well known as his skills should allow him to be which is a shame to say the least. Hopefully after this fight the Americans can appreciate how good the fighters over the pond can be.

He's not TOO WELL known, which is sad, but for the true fans over here, he's given a good amount of credit. He's well-liked. Hard to hate a guy who can't even keep a straight face for a stare-down. By the way, the reason they don't teach us too much about foreign affairs is because the teachers are essentially babysitters, and are not expected to educate, but keep children safe. It's fucked up.. but that's life.

Almost all of britain roots for Calzaghe, so thats why I thought wales was a part of Britain. I'm only bustin' your chops dude. It's pretty big over here, yeah. The undercard is on our TVs now. Pretty fucking huge this scrap, it's a shame Hatton-Mayweather is to come, otherwise this would be the be all and end all for GB. I'm totally excited. I'm trying to get drunk so I can rip shit up when it starts, but after half a dozen pints I'm stone cold sober. Says something about how excited I am. This scrap is GBs De La Hoya - Floyd equivelant.

Scottish footballers in our GB side...and that would be soooooooo bad. They are soooo bad at footy. Well they're doing pretty damn well at the moment.

Wales and Ireland are the other 2 countries......right? Northern Ireland and Wales

Wales and Ireland are the other 2 countries......right?

Listen. You can't fault people for not being as intimately familiar with your own country (ies?) as you. I referred to a Northern Ireland fighter as "Hatton's countryman" and Mozza nearly had a heart attack. Meanwhile, you guys (England, N Ireland) are on the same Olympic team. WTF. It's all screwed up, dude. Yeah, we should go one way or the other...four countries or a union...but if we did the latter we'd have to put Scottish footballers in our GB side...and that would be soooooooo bad. They are soooo bad at footy.

Mozza, Where did he fight Lacy? MEN Arena, Manchester, England. That's your educated answer, the one Dave Brown couldn't come up with.

Mozza, Where did he fight Lacy? in your moms pussy.. could you not see the blood on Lacys face?

American schools don't care to teach that stuff Where is Michigan, is that in Detroit? Where is that really cool city of California? Joking, really. They teach us about you lot, why not vice-versa?

Before the lacy fight i picked Calzaghe by a ko win. I knew Lacy was overrated

Isn't wales part of britain? You so need to go back to high school. Great Britain - four countries - England, Scotland and two others (I'll let you try guess them)

Calzaghe is Welsh. Touche......

I heard he was an underdog even in his own country against jeff lacy. So, it seems like half the ppl in england didn't believe in their man. Calzaghe is Welsh.

I heard he was an underdog even in his own country against jeff lacy. So, it seems like half the ppl in england didn't believe in their man. The media portrayed Lacy as an invincible warrior (the US media that is), that's why we had our fears, but half way through that scrap we all realised Joe was going to make Lacy look like (dare I say it) a well-built Mexican cabbie.
