      He is Welsh and British though. Don't see him accompanied to the ring with a Welsh flag for nothing

        People were saying he wasn't ENGLISH, and thats right, he's still not english, he welsh. Hence why Jeff was trying to get the english crowd behind him to make it a England vs Wales. England, Wales, Scotland = Great Britain = British.

        What your saying is like, hes from New York so he's not american... Or that he's French so he's not from Europe.

            Hit it on the head near enough...

            Though the media is sometimes commonly criticised so for example when Andy Murray in the tennis does well, he is British but when he plays crap, he is Scottish. The same could be said for Joe, when he boxes poorly, he is Welsh but when he fights well, the English are quickly to embrace him. Tongue in cheek really But Joe is a proud Welshman firstly

                Exactly, and now all these bitches are claiming Calzaghe as their father.

                  look guys as much as i hate this **** **** thread starter he is right. England is just one part of the United Kingdom, as is Wales. Referring to England when you mean the UK is the quickest way to upset the Welsh!
