    No one disputes that,

    Whats the point?
    The point is, it demonstrates a certain pattern. Some people are so convinced of the inferiority of British boxers, that when a fighter like Jeff Lacy whom they believed to be top notch is beaten by Joe Calzaghe, after the fight they say the American boxer was no good anyway.

    The truth is: Jeff Lacy is a very good boxer, and his losing to Joe Calzaghe is an indication of how good Calzaghe is, not how bad Lacy is.

          I'm American by the way!!!


          The Calzaghe/Lacy fight will always be remembered in history because the way Americans(THE MAJORITY NOT ALL) hyped up Jeff Lacy. And said this black dudes going to destroy the white guy, and with james toney opening his ****ing ugly fat face made it even worse. Toney siding with Lacy because toney likes to stare at mens muscles instead of their IQ level. Calzaghe won in the fight because he was the smarter, faster fighter. He has a higher IQ, thats why Lacy couldn't even win one god damn round. ****ing dumb ass he is.

            I bet I have a higher IQ than both, but they would kick my ass.

            In school kids with bad grades would beat me up regularly

              Calzaghes not a dumb ass. He fought and made 2 million(or so I heard) to fight a bum ass fighter like Manfredo. Thats a good boxing decision if you want to make some doe. Thats a fighter that Calzaghe could beat with one hand behind his back.

                    Not really. Here in America everyone loved Lennox Lewis and gave him all the props in the world. He was a beast. How do you explain that compared to how you believe that all Americans think British boxers are inferior? Doesn't add up. It is what it is. As long as you yourself believe in your fighters then nothing else matters. People shouldn't be going to such lengths to try and contradict was people said about old ass fights. It's real pointless.

                    The pattern in my eyes is that some people disregarded Calzaghe's resume, so his nation's fans became uptight and screamed xenophobia immediately.
