Ward vs Calzaghe

[Primo Carnera]

Joe Calzaghe is British Primo. Whether you like it or he likes it or I like it is irrelevant. I have always been a big fan like most British boxing fans. He fought in Britain for British titles ffs. All this because I pointed out he was born in England. ������

Wow! Are you still trying to convince yourself? I've got a feeling you'll be taking out a custody lawsuit next! #desperatetoclaimapartofhim.

It's not even a disputed fact by anyone but you. Most Italians, that is people born in Italy, do not consider Calzaghe Italian why would they? He was born in England, lived his entire life in Wales and fought the majority of his fights in Britain including fighting for British titles. A couple of the boxers i work with down here spar regularly with the Selbys and in boxing that is how it works, you don't not support other British boxers just because they are not English. If Calzaghe had fought Froch I would have watched with interest but wanted Joe to win, so your disingenuous rubbish about English fight fans not supporting boxers like Buchanan, Burns,Watt,Maccarenelli,Rees, Mcguigan, Frampton etc until they are successful is daft. Not only have they consistently bought tickets and turned up to watch in droves but your argument makes no sense. There has been and continues to be way more top notch world level English boxers than Welsh, Scottish,Northern Irish and Italian put together, so why would the English be glory hunters like the British plonkers who wear Brazil,Italy and Dutch football shirts when the World cup comes around. Reaching mate.Joe beats Ward. Output, but more importantly avoiding Andres traps and much better feet. In and out. Ward will not be able to lean on Stamina with a guy who grew up running those Welsh hills. Points win for the Brit.

Tell you what @Beanz, I'll leave you to it. you keep ignoring what I've actually said and answer with what you THINK I've said if it makes you happy. And while you're at it , carry on ignoring all the questions and points put forward. Crack on!
I'll leave you with one little contradictory quote you posted to prove my point. You said how should I tell YOU how you feel about the Scots and Welsh, but then YOU have the gall to Tell Calzaghe what he is despite what HE FEELS.
I feel it would be a mature thing to do to stop this idiotic to ing and fro ing, so I will take the first step and stop posting on this matter. If you wish to carry on, be my guest.

Primo mate, I will just say this, with Calzaghe you are putting a lot of weight on what HE feels to define his nationality. But I distinctly remember you ignoring that aspect when it came to Lennox Lewis. People pointed out that LL was adamant he is British but for you that didn't matter.

(as an aside I'm sure there are many many quotes of Calzaghe referring himself in terms of Britishness. 'The first British fighter to do this' etc).

Lennox Lewis "felt so British", that he won an Olympic Gold Medal for CANADA!!
