I don't even think he has an English accent! More Canadian to me.
As for "He supports West Ham!" πππππ

It's because of his silly Canadian twanged accent that he wasn't taken to when he came back home.

It was lucky that old Lenny was never born in Canada, in his opinion he'd had never had a chance of being a boxer as the place is full of wimps.
"My mum took me to Canada when I was 12, but I am British in my heart. There is a real fearlessness to the British that I feel. I came out of a dance in Canada when I was a teenager and about 30 kids came after me and my friend, and I said, βLet's stand our ground.' So we turned to these kids and said, βCome on then, let's have you.' And they all ran away, until there were just two or three left. In East London, that would never have happened. They'd have stayed together and beaten me up." Lennox Lewis

That makes a hell of a lot of sense.
I mean he spent 13 years NOT boxing in England, then came to Canada and started boxing almost right away. But yeah, I see your point, there's no way he would have become a boxer had he been born in Canada.
Imagine if he stayed over in England. He'd have been another clog in a long line of chinless, garbage HWs. He'd be like Price, getting knocked out by every man with a decent punch and crying in the ring.

Lennox would have been a success no matter where he lived or even learned to box. Too good not to be.
I understand you saying that he learned to box in Canada and that his gold is in the credit column of the Canadian system not the GB system. Obviously. But that's not the same as being Canadian. As I'm sure you know.
Also, do remember, Canada are shit at most things so I think we can chalk his success to the man himself rather than the talent that one naturally gains by spending time in Canada.

If England had a long history of developing great HW's, I'd agree with you. But I think it's a bit too coincidental that when an Englishman leaves the UK and trains elsewhere, suddenly he becomes one of the top 5 greatest HWs of all time.
Audley Harrison had all the genetic gifts Lennox did, and he was shite.

Nothing against England, I'm sure it's a nice place.
In fact, my grandmother is from Hull so really I have more English blood than Lennox does!

That explains a lot. Shit Hole. It's a well known fact that the further North you go, the more effeminate and feeble the men become. That's why Lennox was born in London and not Carlisle. If he had been born in Cornwall he would never have lost to McCall or Rahman and would have obliterated Holyfield at the first attempt.

That ain't the quote I heard.
As a matter of fact, Lennox claims that he started boxing because the Canadian kids were beating the shit out of him. Apparently nobody in London whipped his ass, because he never felt the need to box.
Funny he felt the need to learn how to defend himself in such a "pussy" country... hahaha!
In all seriousness, our national game is hockey. We are the best in the world at it.
Your national game is soccer/football/footie/sissyball. And you guys aren't even in the top 5 in the world.
So please, let's get real here. London is full of sissies and produces very mediocre fighters.
