    This is simply not true. Calzaghe is known for fighting the big names on his resume out of their prime, an arguable loss to an old Hopkins, ducking Glen Johnson, and having some of the most questionable stoppages that I have ever seen in my life.

    America is a melting pot. Most people that are racist aren't boxing fans. Fans just want to be entertained, we are not nationalistic. Many of my favorite fighters are Filipino (Donaire, Pacquiao), British (Khan, Hamed), Mexican, etc...

    What you are saying is textbook racism - you are characterizing all American's based on an assumption you have.

      Well said. What really surprised me was when I saw a lot of people in the audience rooted for Zab Judah against Mayweather.

        They waited until calzaghe was past his prime, and made him fight at LHW instead of his real weight and on USA home turf, and calzaghe beats the **** out of both of them
        Calzhage actually fought the LOSER of an elimination bout.

        Nobody that cowardly wanted anything to do with a prime RJJ or B-Hop.

        In 02 Hopkins was riding high off his KO win over Felix Trinidad...

        That same year...Calzhage was fighting beauties like Tokker Pudwell and Miguel Jimenez.

        Joe didn't DESERVE a fight with Hopkins or RJJ in 2002

            if Calzaghe was American, I would have even hated him more.

                      Why would any other race but blacks give a fak about RJJ and Bhop losing??Lol! Well, sure they had fans of all colors and races, but nobody except the blacks would HATE Joe for beating them...at least not many non-blacks.
