Calzaghe: "Americans Ignorant, Euro Fighters Are Better"

[Pullcounter]

Days away from what may be the final fight of his career, Joe Calzaghe lashed out at all the hype about American fighters being better than European fighters. He went on the kind of rant that will make him the sure villain when he faces Roy Jones Jr. on Saturday night at New York's Madison Square Garden. [details]

calz should've proved it by beating hopkins more convincingly.

What an idiot.
After Hopkins losing the fight because of his comments oe does the same mistake.

Pascal is Canadian, do you consider them yanks too?

Apparently AA and Sturm are "my boys". Cos Brits and Germans are like peas in a pod.

Can Anyone Name One Legend Calzaghe Has Faced In Their Prime?

Calzaghe is bitter because he is not a legend and his comments are ignorant considering he will be facing BOTH a former Heavyweight champ and Olympic medalist in Jones. Clearly American fighters are better. The Heavyweight division is just going through a transition. Calzaghe will retire without the accomplishments of Roy Jones. ROY JONES WAS THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP OF THE WORLD. Case closed. How good is Calzaghe? Calzaghe is fighting Jones after Jones has been knocked out twice and there are still doubts that Calzaghe will win. Calzaghe knows he cant cement his place in history by beating quality opponents in his prime so he is frustrated at an incomplete career. Even if he managed to retire undefeated. It will be with an asterick that unlike ALL OTHER LEGENDS he didn't face any legends in their prime. NAME ONE LEGEND CALZAGHE HAS FACED IN THEIR PRIME? Both Muhammad Ali, Hopkins, Jones Jr., Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson all faced LEGENDS IN THEIR PRIME. This is why we say your undefeated record aint ****... because youve been sheltered.

I would ask that if you are going to use our language, that you try not to butcher it.

Thanks.
