Joe Calzaghe is an all time great!

[BlackHat]

And who has America got ?

Kelly Pavlik, Jeff Lacy, Eddie Chambers, Calvin Brock and Jermain Taylor
thats a list of overrated Americans who got built up and then exposed
three of the five got beaten by European fighters easily.

Hopkins and Jones stayed in America
nither left the states so why should Joe leave Wales ?

Mainstream boxing is in america just so you know.

This is going to be completely ignored.


I've tried getting an answer for this many times to no avail.

Not really boxing is now very big in England, Russia and Germany

None of the top Americans fought outside the US
so why should the top Europeans ?

You seriously think this hasn't been addressed a million times?

Fighters themselves say it all the time: They come to America to get a bigger fanbase. Better promotional deal. Bigger fights. If Manny Pacqiao and Ricky Hatton can acknowledge this, why cant you?

Why did he leave Wales his last 2 fights? To get big fights against Jones and Hopkins. That's why dummy. He could have done that way before they were washed up.

The fan base in the states make it the place to be, but US boxing is at a low ebb right now.

Joe is comfortable with what he already has. He didn't need to come to america.

He did, and beat to HOF.

and still gets no credit.

When was the last time Roy or Bernard fought outside the us?

THink about that. Why must fighters from other nations come here and american fighters never have to leave their soil?

Sounds like a double standard to me.

The black, racist, Afrocentrists need to be banned from these forums. Who is moderating these threads?

Mayweather hasn't cleaned out a single division he's been in. Calzaghe has.

When you move up and win titles in multiple weight divisions, you're not supposed to. I suppose he could've stayed at super-feather a while longer and make numerous title defenses to meet your standards but he already beat the best at that weight and moved up to win more titles.
