Greatest British HW of all time? Vote NOW!

[Beanz]

Lewis picked the British side for financial reasons, I covered this quite extensively in Appendix C of the "Lewis the Wannabe Limey" report.

We shall take you word on that then and ignore everything Lennox has said to the contrary. After all why would he want to be associated with his place of birth or the place that codified and popularised boxing and 80% of all other sports enjoyed around the world ? Why would he want to fight for the glorious and esteemed, beautiful prize that is the Lonsdale belt ? Why would he want to be mentioned alongside Jem Mace, Freddie Welsh, Jim Driscoll, Jimmy Wilde, Randolph Turpin, Bob Fitzsimmons, Ken Buchanan, Jackie Berg,Benny Lynch, Joe Calzaghe, Nigel Benn, Ricky Hatton, etc after all like you said "England has been hurting for great fighters for a long time".

England is not Britain, The gene for hugeness is not exclusively carried by Jamaicans,Amateur boxingeven at Olympic level is not the same as the pros, that is were you really start to learn, All Canadians except Gatti who was Italian, Stiverne who is Haitian, Stevenson who is Haitian, Pascal who is Haitian,Bute who is Romanian and a bit rubbish, Chuvalo and Tommy Burns (respect) Yvon Durelle who despite having a girls name gets a pass for being a fishermen (double hard bastards round my parts), Ruddock who is Jamican, Dixon for being a trail blazer, Berbick who is Jamaican,Jimmy Mclarnin and IamInuit who is not, are gay and couldn't fight there way out of a soggy mayonnaise covered bag of chips.


What we have learned is that most Canadian boxers are Jamaican or Haitian.

So shut your fucking face Uncle Fucker

Whatever, piggy back on Canada's boxing achievements if you must! I just think it's lame, is all.

Whatever reason Lewis picked Britain , mainly because he was born there , he chose it because he preferred it to Canada , cant you read between the lines ? He chose it, not the British public , but Lewis himself.

It's Lennox Lewis.

Hey, if you're looking at genetics to make someone British, then you'd have to omit every non-Anglo-Saxon on your list, but being a citizen of a particular Nation is a political construct not based on race; it's birthright citizenship if you're born there, and Lennox Lewis was. That's the white man's laws.

Maybe you're right though, therefore white people and black people in Canada and the USA aren't really true citizens of North America at all but merely offspring of illegal alien European immigrants as you certainly are not First Nations people indigenous to this continent (indigenous, American "Indians".)

That makes Lennox not Canadian, not British, and not Jamaican either, but African.


Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong...

i can't believe nobody has mentioned the greatest British heavyweight of all time, without a debate or a shadow of a doubt, no question about it at all ...... The mighty Funso Banjo!

[nuggetdotcom]

Clearly you must all be having memory problems. Our most successful heavyweight was obviously Joe Bugner!!!!!

thats not true, he clearly feels that all canadians are soft

mind you if he really wanted to show his hardness he would have been born in the north of england

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Do you really think you can get to 12 years old in the East End without having a fight?

Not a fucking chance

[Mr140]

Well you could say that Lewis did become a champ when he was in England and was born there so i don't think it that big of a deal to call him a British champ. If not i guess it would have to be Bruno who was good but just could not hold to save his life when he got hurt or take a fucking knee.

[porkypara]

I did not vote because the answer in Lennox Lewis.

[palmerq]

Lennox was born in England. England is part of Great Britain. Lennox left Great Britain at 12 by which time he was irrevocably British. He then himself returned to Britain as an Adult and fought as a Brit from Britain. He has repeatedly claimed to be proud of his Great British heritage and England the place where he was born. He is British.

canada is still a british colony too isnt it........

To me it's 70% where you are produced as a boxer, 25% genetics and 5% where you were born (usually that's a part of where you are produced as a boxer but in Lennox "The Wannabe Limey" Lewis' case they must be separated.) That means he's 5% a British boxer.
