Who are you to say he is not a true Brit. Lennox Lewis was born in britain in a British hospital and raised here until he was 12. He then chose as an Adult to come back and represent his birthland as a professional. He recaimed his rightful place as a Brit so there is no argument you can forward to prove otherwise. Also there is nothing sad about picking a multi-cultural guy as our own. We have always been a multi-cultural country.It is the essence of Britain. The Jews have been here since the 12th century followed by the Italians and people from all over Europe and then the Chinese, West Indians,etc for hundreds of years.There is evidence of a significant Black population in Britain going back to the times of the Romans. Eubank while a classy boxer is eclipsed by many British boxers, so when it comes to British boxing, you can button it Finito.
Well said!

I do feel Eubank has the ability on his day to beat anyone. However, Calzaghe is more consistant and not only was he an awkward southpaw he had an amazing workrate that not many would keep up with.

Lewis is not the best. As I said, he struggled and got KO'd against mediocre fighters while he was supposedly at the top. Also, he was never thought of as unbeatable by anyone whereas with Calzaghe you had to think who was out there that could trouble him. There was talk of Pavlik and then Hopkins just pisses all over him and then Dawson who Pascal made look stupid
