Salt vs. Pepper

from peewee, my intrepid UK bloggie correspondent....

I stayed up until 6am for the big fight last night - Florida's own living legend, Roy Jones, Jr. vs Britain's finest ever fighter, Joe Calzaghe. The unassuming Calzaghe, like most with a British-Italian heritage (I'm sure you'd agree Sara!), is supremely gifted and knows it. But he's never shouted about it, whilst amassing a perfect 44-0 record.

Then came a Vegas showdown with Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins in April, in which the crass Philadelphian famously proclaimed during the pre-fight build-up: "I'll never lose to a whiteboy"!! The statement evoked memories of the olden days when boxing legends such as Jack Johnson and Joe Louis were constantly fighting against racist attitudes, in a bid to prove that black men could compete on an even footing. Hopkins' comment pained me, because this antagonistic remark was made at a time when we whiteboys are already beginning to accept that black men have gone way beyond achieving an 'even footing'. We realise that big black men are so much better with our girls and that, physically, we don't match up.

Seriously, most whiteboys are indeed fast developing inferiority complexes about big black men. Despite this, we like them and racism is quickly dispersing. We understand and accept why the prettiest white girls need BBC. We worship the black athletes on the sports fields. We buy the black musical artists brilliant albums. And we befriend and value our black neigbours and colleagues.

So Hopkins' inflammatory remark was unnecessary and divisive. And I was delighted when Calzaghe rammed his words down his throat with a victory 6 months ago. And last night, Joe collided, in the Madison Square Garden ring, with the best of his generation, Roy Jones Jr from Pensacola. And yet again, the "whiteboy" won in a brilliant display of speed, skill and character.

Perhaps Hopkins should learn that it's better not to vocalise the emerging black dominance in the sporting arena. Saying that he will never lose a boxing fight against a whiteboy was, and has been proven to be, absurd. Whereas if he'd just said that he has a bigger cock than Joe, and could sexually satisfy his girlfriend in a way that a whiteboy can only dream, no-one would have put up any kind of resistance. Especially, I suspect, Joe's pretty white girlfriend!!

Being of British-Italian descent were you rooting for Joe last night, or as a born & bred Floridian was your heart with Roy? Or were you too busy cuckolding me with some hung Miami stud to care either way!?!

peewee, here in the USofA, we refer to Calzaghe as Welsh, and Welshmen are known to be the most well-hung in any of the UK, because of the Moorish influence when the Moors invaded the British Isles. Tom Jones (as revealed in my much earlier blog post) revealed the generous Welsh 'penisize'. I'm sure Calzaghe is equally hung, being of Italian and Welsh ancestry. Of the two, I'd rather do Calzaghe, because while Roy may be hung, he's just so narcissistic and annoying! To answer your question, yes, my $, well if I had $ to bet, was on Calzaghe. And I'm glad in this case, salt trumped pepper.

And.... there is some debate as to whether Pensacola is really in Florida. Most South or Central Floridians wished the Panhandle would just secede and become its' own state haha, or join Alabama.
