    His dads sardinian, but has lived in Wales for years. Joe considers himself more Welsh, but one doesn't just ignore part of their blood. There's just more being made of it because this fights in NY where there's loads of of Italians.

        It's all about repping your heritage. It's like if you have Irish parents, you stick an Irish flag on your shorts and open your hands out for more money a la Matthew Macklin etc. Covering all bases is always good, and being a world class fighter of Italian dissent is always going to be a good gimmick.

              Never seen this fight before, He's got that flag on his shorts in this fight

              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgO2D5aDr5M.

              In the Hopkins fight he had the same colors with a small dragon. But as seen on HBO 24/7 he's about as Italian as George Bush.

                Why do African Americans consider themselfs African? Why do Italian Americans consider themselfs Italian? Because culture is what makes them unique, but i wouldnt expect white America to know anythin about culture.
