If Joe Calzaghe was American and black, would he be better respected?

[Porter's Dad]

The catalysists of Manchester United are all white; it's a betting team.
Giggs, Vidic, Fletcher, Carrick, Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov etc...

Chelsea never won anything, neither did Arsenal despite having Henry in their team.
Inter won champions league in the 60s...
Your argument goes to waste.

And if you want to get technical, let's look at the positions and who the top players are;

Strikers;
Villa, Torres, Rooney, Berbatov, Eto'o, Drogba, Anelka...
I'd rather have the white ones in my team, they perform well in big matches.
Look at Torres vs Germany, and Rooney vs Liga.

Midfield/Wingers;
Ronaldo, Carrick, Lampard, Gerrard, Xavi, Ballack, Mascherano, Ronaldinho, Gattuso, Kaka, maybe Deco as well...
Same story here...

Defense;
Vidic, Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher, Evra, Cannavaro, Carvalho.
And here...

GK;
Is that worth mentioning? LoL!

I'll let you make a judgment.

Sad pathetic ****.

Personally, a fighter's race has nothing to do with how much I respect him. I respect Calzaghe for doing what he does, fight and win (even if I don't like his fighting style or overly ****y demeanor). Do I think he's an all-time great? Maybe, but I'd still put him below Hopkins and RJJ on that list since their quality of competiton is much higher. And even though Hopkins schooled Pavlik, B-Hop was still much closer to his decline than his peak. If that fight would have happened even 3-4 years ago Calzaghe's victory over him would get more credit from me.

Would Joe be better respected by some people if he was American and black?

Would Joe still get his two or three hate threads per day on boxingscene?

Would all his haters like Flawless (Sugar May Floyd), danc1984, bsrizpac, DiegoFuego, chiyoko, El Dominicano etc feel the same way about him?

Racial trolling is a bannable offense.

No I would still dislike him, he'd still be an overrated clown.

You are a pathetic excuse for a Klit fan. racism sucks.

[bsrizpac]

Sad pathetic ****.

He's a racist trolling pathetic *******.

Glad he keeps posting **** to prove it over and over.

in his mind white > ever other race.

Sad how all these Joe fangirls are OBSESSED with race.

Thank you sir
United: Defence Evra Brown (Two of our best players last season)
Arsenal Invincibles team/now: Vieira Cole Henry Lauren Toure Campbell Walcott Gallas Adebayour
Chelsea: Essien Drogba Makelele Anelka

Dont forget the robinho's trezeguet's etc

Eto'o is probably the best striker in the world right now, Henry isnt doing too bad Adebayour has been injured

Midfield Essien Yaya Toure Diarra (both) Muntari Senna Keita

then there is Maicon Ballotelli Martins Gomis
This is getting silly

I mean if YOU want to start getting technical we could start including players like Ronaldo Ronaldinho as black as well then it would really get sticky.
