    Why do you keep going on about my signature? Touched a nerve obviously. The truth is uncomfortable for some people I guess.
    I don't really care what you call me, I'm not easily offended but "YANK" is kind of retro. No one especially in the states uses that term. In the states when you use the term "YANK" it means you are either really OLD or from another country and most likely are offended by Americans and you not feel welcome. Either you just use the term because you feel offended and are loss of words or you just try and piss people off by using the word. But I could care less what you say. I was just wondering if you knew what it meant or if you just use it because other people use it. But if you are trying to make someone feel welcome you wouldn't use the term "YANK". It would be funny to see you speak to a person and call them a yank in person... You would probably get laughed at....

            Who said I was trying to be offensive? Yanks sure are getting their knickers in a twist tonight arent they?

                Hatton was one of my favorites until lately, I think he only has a few fights left then he should retire

                  Im American. I like Calzaghe. I like Hatton. I liked Lewis when he fought. I dont like Haye. Haye has never fought anyone, and he has fans who would blow him for a quarter just because he runs his mouth alot and "looks like he could pull chicks...and man...what a body" and other uselsss garbage.
