The reason some English fans dislike Calzaghe

[TheGreatAli]

It's because Calzaghe never wheres the Union Jack on his trunks, only the Italian and Welsh flags unlike Hatton and Haye who both fight with the Jack on their trunks.

Terrible... has gone as far to say he doesn't like Calzaghe because he is Welsh.

[Kris Silver]

Might be a slight factor, Calzaghe has fought a lot out of his Country, and in England however, and English British fans have supported him usually.

He usually thanks his Welsh and British fans though.

Can you quote where Terrible said he doesn't like JC cos he's Welsh?

[The Hammer]

Terrible..., who now calls himself Dynamite Kid, hates Calzaghe because he is white, not because he's Welsh.

He made a Ricky Hatton hate thread recently, here it is:

He's expressed similar negativity toward the other white English fighters such as Froch. And he hates the Klitschkos, Kessler, Pavlik, etc.

[Mr. Ryan]

Maybe they just don't like him because they don't appreciate his style of fighting.

I know plenty of British fans who just don't like Calzaghe for reasons that have nothing to do with nationality.

[Clegg]

I don't care if he considers himself 'Welsh' rather than 'British'.

Kessler has more English blood than Calzaghe. Who do you think the vast majority of English boxing fans were cheering for when they fought?

That doesn't seem like a hate thread to me, he is basically saying what a LOT of people think of Hatton. Believe it or not not everybody likes Ricky style.

It's because their girlfriend's wanna **** Joe.

That's all it is.

It's because he beat a shot Eubank, Spent 10 years fighting nobodys, beat an overhyped Lacy and then acts as if he's the greatest of all time for beating two old men.

If after the Lacy fight (2005) he'd have fought Taylor and then Maybe Hopkins after he'd had two good fights with Taylor and demolished Tarver and then went on to beat Pavlik or something like that then fair enough. But the fact that after destroying Lacy he fought Kessler (which was a good win) and then when on to only just beat a 43 year old Hopkins and an old and way shot Roy Jones is bull****.

It pisses me off how he talks about his wins over Hopkins and Jones as if they were amazing wins. If he'd have beat them both 8-10 years ago then it would be ok but he beat them when they were old and acts as if they were both prime, when he knows in their prime Hopkins and Jones Jr would have beat Calzaghe every night of the week.

I bet more than 50% of English Calzaghe fans are just casual fans who do not realise he could have taken better fights that would have meant something and instead think he is the G.O.A.T because he beat Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr, Two men I guarantee you most of them had never even heard of before Calzaghe fought them because they are not boxing fans, just jumping on the bandwagon.

I don't think so; it's never occurred to me. The guy is Welsh after all (despite being born in London).

I'm not actually a big fan of seeing national colours and flags on boxing trunks, certainly in pro boxing. It's man v. man (or indeed woman v. woman) not nation against nation. Most fans have favourites of other nationalities while disliking some fighters from their own country.

Yet again, against who?
