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

Jesus, this forum is an utter joke! it's full of venomous cry babies who cant have a decent discussion if their lives depended on it.

[Butterball]

I think this is a no-brainer.

Just look at all the negative rep attached to him since he started slapping up Fat Yanks. If he was a Fat Yank himself then there'd be none of that resentment.

Even if it was just 5% more respect, it'd still be marked.

[Hagler★]

No he wouldn't be respected more. Its all about the resume.

exactly! when people talk trash about Mayweather one of the first things they say is....
Thats right he has a padded resume

That's very true - there must have been 300 hate threads against Joe Calzaghe in this forum, since he defeated Jones in September!

Actually Floyd JR gets accused of the same things Joe does and not only is he American but he's also a Black American.

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?

First off...YOU woudnt be a fan.

And 2nd your right he would be more respected because he wouldnt been sitting his azz in Europe fighting bum azz fighters.

And why, pray tell, would that be?

Being white in America never hurt ANYBODY.

If Joe were Black American he would have never been satisfied with a WBO title..much less keep it for TEN years.

Black American fighers tend to want more from the sport than a WBO crap-strap.

If Joe Calzaghe was an African-American you wouldn't like him.

hahahahahahaha

He'd hate Joe's guts if he were Black..especially with that gay-ass style.

[Electrode]

if calzaghe was african american he'd be even more hated than he is now.

one of the reasons why calz gets away with his bull**** is because he's white.

remember that article by cliff rold (i think) that said calzaghe was an ATG but Mosley wasnt???

calzaghe and his fans need to praise God that he was born a white guy.

You made some damn good points..points than cannot be denied.

A lot more is expected from Black fighters...Brothers can't cruise the WBO circuit avoiding all challenges from WBA WBC IBF.

Remember the Roycott??????

The entire media came down on Roy...the same media is giving Joe a free pass..and his resume is 10x's worse than Jones'.

I keep hearing that Joe is a GREAT fighter..

If joe is great then what is Archie Moore or Bob Foster????

I guess they are GREAT TOO.
