GREATEST ITALIAN FIGHER EVER???? Who was it?

[BigSlick]

Willie Pep, Top 3 P4P all time

[Emon723]

That's the bloke who got smashed by Honeyghan, isn't it?

yup, any good boxer would beat Rosi, donald Curry dropped him 5 times, no one even expected this italian would have a lengthy reign.

[Chups]

Most fighters on the list are Americans.

[BrooklynBomber]

Willie Pep gets my vote.

[Kball15]

Most fighters on the list are Americans.

U guys are idiots. lol

Just because a guy was born and raised in AMERICA, DOES NOT MEAN HE IS ONLY AMERICAN!!!

They were ALL very proud of their ITALIAN ROOTs, They were raised by ITALIAN IMMAGRANT FAMILY's in ITALIAN ******s.

These are as ITALIAN as a fighter can get.

If they were Fighting out of Italy, they probably wouldnt have made it very far, and their careers probably would have died along the way.

They immigrated to America for more then one reason...


EVERY SINGLE GUY LISTED IS ITALIAN!!!!!

WHETHER THEY ARE ITALIAN AMERICAN OR JUST ITALIAN, DOESNT EVEN MATTER!!!!

To be Italian you have to be born in Italy, just the same as to be Irish you have to be born in Ireland, to be English you have to be born in England. It's a peculiarly North American phenomenon to refer to yourself as a native of a country which (and this is true of a large percentage) you have never even visited.

well if ur parents, grand parents, and great grandparents were ALL born in ITALY, and you were born in America, YOU ARE STILL ITALIAN. You are jus ITALIAN AMERICAN

You still fight like an italian, you still talk and look italian, you are more Italian then you are American.

Im reading a book, called ITALIAN STALLIONS, that brought up this topic. AND EVERY SINGLE GUY I MENTIONED is in the book.

THEY ARE ITALIAN!!!!!

[PBDS]

I think it might be worth adding modern and part Italian boxers to this list. So Calzaghe would get in and get my vote.

...Over Pep or Marciano??? Are you kidding? That goes beyond nuthugging for sure. Let Calzonie have a career defining fight first and then you may have an arguement.
