Ricky Hatton represents Britain...but Calzaghe represents Wales

[Pugilistic™]

i was born in england, but i only consider that as my birthplace. my dad is english and my mum is scottish so in my opinion that makes me british.

Hatton represents Manchester, England and Britain. Calzaghe represents Wales, Italy and Britain.

Joe Calzaghe was born in LONDON.


nuff said.

That's a **** point.

My dad was born in Berlin, he's ****ing British.

[hardmanbrit]

Ricky Hatton is English.

Joe Calzaghe is Welsh.

BOTH are British.

Understand now?

I realise Wales have nothing else in their tiny pointless country but Calzaghe needs to realise he is more English than he is Welsh therefore he should represent England or Britain.

That's one of the most ignorant comments I've ever read. Calzaghe is half Welsh half Italian. Fact. He was born in London, but where your born doesn't count for as much, he has Welsh blood and grew up in Wales. A little Geography lesson fellow Londoner, Wales is in Britain. Whether he was Welsh or English he'd be representing Britain, like it or not. People from with the UK often prefer to say they're specific country within the UK, but they're still factually from and representing, the UK. Wikipedia the United Kingdom mate, got 4 countries in it, your in ONE of them.

not as bad as that ugly twat of a tennis player Murray. He is never British. Always Scottish.

Oh dear, Scotland's in the United Kingdom, he's British, jesus. Tell you what guys, I'm only down the road, hows about I jump on the underground and teach you some pre school basics on Geography, such as Britain and it's FOUR countries.

Extremely ignorant and offensive to both Welsh, Scottish, and even English to not have even a basic understanding of the UK then make such ridiculously rude comments, and your from the UK aswell. Blimey, god help us.

i was born in london but i feel british and when people ask i say im nigerian because thats how i was raised culturally

[FRKO]

I can't say nothing about how you feel, only you know that, but if you had said:

"I was born in England, I live in England, and I have Nigerian parents... what am I?"

I would have have said English.

I'm not exactly sure what "feeling" English is, though! I wonder if Calzaghe thinks to himself "I feel Welsh"? LOL.

[feed-the-goat]

calzaghe has a welsh accent ffs, Hes not English.
