    Would Joe Calzaghe be a star if he was born in the US?

    maybe being welsh has made him who he is, but i would think that if he was american that he would be a huge star there. i think if he fought more bigger names then he would perhaps not have a 0 on his name. he's well spoken and a nice guy with a lot of natural ability. he can have exciting fights aswell.

    i mean his dad had to teach him how to box from reading from a book lol. nice lil story.

    he is already a Star , just somewhat unknown in the US. if he were from the US he would be a star.

      I think he would deffo be more of a star, because the americans do a great job of overrating fighters too, look at lacy, miranda, pavlik etc. But yeah if he was american i do believe he'd been seen as a little more legit. He certainly be fighting in bigger fights in the USA if he was american too i think.

        Being Welsh is a hindrance, if he was American he would be even bigger, because he would be one of yours. ?

          That's like asking if Felix Savon would have been the greatest HW of all time if he would have turned professional.

            not so much because of that, its because all the biggest boxing networks are here and hed have early worldwide exposure being on HBO/Showtime, also being in the states, he would have oppurtunities early against guys like Jones and Hopkins because of the fact that hed be with HBO and would be fighting alot of the best fighters in that division.
