Joe Calzaghe's reputation in the US

[ianwigley]

How's Joe's profile going in the US since none of you Americans knew anything about him until he ripped Jeff Lacy's head off for a full fight.

Just curious.

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.

You so need to go back to high school.

American schools don't care to teach that stuff

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

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?
