Calzaghe,"Yanks have'nt showed me any respect!"

[Kel]

Bit off topic this, I just stuck it in the nearest Calzaghe Jones thread I saw.

Who is this interviewer fella? He is quite a piss taking swine.

Disrespectful? A yank is a gay pedophile; 'disrespectful' is an understatement (unless you play pro baseball in New York).

Is that what it means where your from Where I'm from the word "yank" or "yankee" usually means someone from the northeast part of the United States.

Its great to hear Winky Wright is coming back on December the 4th.I'll look forward to him being back on form.Also if you read on this site"The sun" today you can read up on more news on Froch calling out Calzaghe.Its sounds great and i really really really hope both Froch and Calzaghe remain undefeated in the up and coming fights.Froch mentions that if the fight does happen it would be another Benn vs Eubank era.Sounds great to me!!!!I'll be there live to watch these two get it on for sure,it really would be AWESOME.Its what we have all been wanting!!!


All i hope for,is for Calzaghe and Froch to remain undefeated in they next fights and then have Froch call out Calzaghe LIVE on t.v straight after the Pascal fight.Thats all that needs to happen and the fight is a 99.9% done deal!!!!

not the best PR to get more US fans but will prob help to sell the fight even more so what can you say, but i guess reading that, that this really is his last fight.

wonder if they know americans find the word "Yanks" disrespectful.

No we dont
That being said, I dont like Joe, because I hate his style, and his manager.
Honestly I hate his style, but if he was my fighter,Id probably have him fighting the same way. Its just no fun to watch as a fan.
Warren should be drug out his car

It doesn't matter how he beats Roy JOnes he would earn anymore respect from me for this fight. He has way too many advantages at this point in his career compared to Roy. I don't see why a guy this heavily favored (by boxing fans not going by betting because I don't know what it is at) is expected to do anything except dominate. IMO this is like PBF against Arturo Gatti. Except the talent is reversed.

Nothing like PBF Gatti... I think I see what you are saying in terms of talent, but nothing like that will happen here. The only similarity is one is black one is white.
Let's not forget, Jones has NEVER been taugth a boxing lesson, and that is precisely what Joe is planning to do, right?
I mean he isn't going to knock him out is he? I think Jones has a good chance. maybe 60/40 Calz wins.
Let's be fair too. Most people aren't giving him any respect. But he doesn't have anyone else to beat, does he? We'd still be crying about Kessler if he didn't take that fight, Lacy, Bika, B-Hop Cmon now.

I didn't even know people still used the term yank till I came on here.

I don't find it offensive, just goofy.

Its only used to refer to northeastern people here. And nobody really says it anyway. Except Lyle and people over the age of 100.

[GAME]

I always say Yank . Didnt realise it was offensive to some

Anyways I was just watching Joe vs Reid on the Setanta build up. He has improved a massive amount since those days . He boxed awfully . I actually think he lost that fight but Reid isnt fit to lace his boots so its a strange one

that Joe in that fight would not have beaten kessler , hopkins etc . He has really improved his game taking it to the next level . Id have love to see him rematch Reid cuz Joe got better Reid got poorer. Then Reid would have got a proper beating . Just compare their fights vs Lacy .

So by thet deffinition.... Bilbo's a "yank"?

[killersheep]

A yank to me is someone

A) plays for the New York Yankees

B) see also: pulling the pud, or flogging the dolphin

C) someone east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason-Dixon line.
