Joe Calzaghe is Welsh, Ricky Hatton is English. These are not the same thing.

    It still doesnt justify the hype. I'm sure you were saying Hatton was overrated, but surely he was in exactly the same situation?

      Hatton is good but overrated, well was overrated. He beat Zoo the RING champ.

      Pavlik KTFO two PRIME TOP MIDDLE WEIGHTS and one of them was the undefeated RING CHAMP.

        Calzaghe outclassed two PRIME TOP SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHTS and both of them was for the ring belt. Please apply the same logic to fighters you don't care for as you apply to the fighters that you do.

            Just one small thing in another great chunk of zero knowledge that members of this forum exude.


            Tell me, have any of you dumb ****s even read a book in your lives? You know jack **** about any subject under the sun.
            No one is 100% welsh or English. In fact if you look at the history of the British Isles, it is a mish mash of lots of different things like celts, jutes, anglo saxons, normans, vikings etc etc

            Why are people so obsessed with a fighters nationality. Calzaghe is half Italian.

            It annoys me as people try to 'claim' boxers as their own just because they happen to come from the same country.

            who cares, just appreciate a good boxer for what they are

                You don't get the point I'm making, but that's cool.
