If Fury beats Wlad...

But he sure as shit is not 'Canadian' is he.

He does hold Canadian citizenship.

I'm not doubting that he's a British citizen - he holds dual citizenship for England and Canada. He was born in England, spent his early years there, went back to hang out in his adulthood, ect.

I just question what England had to do with creating Lennox the boxer.

Like I said...

Born to Jamaican parents, which accounts for his size and athletic ability.

Learned to box in Canada, represented Canada in the Olympics and won a gold medal.

As a pro, was brought to greatness by American trainers.

I don't get it.

He learned to box in Canada. 'You' (as in your system) can have the credit there. But you normally say 'He's Canadian'. That's what I argue.
In individual sport the credit belongs to the person and his support team/coaches. In amateur boxing that support team will be of the nation of residence. He came up through the Canadian system and that gold belongs to Canada. That medal is for Canada and is a tick in a column for the Canadian AM system.
But once you turn pro in boxing you're not representing a national team, nor a system. He was born in Britain. Considers himself British. Lived here for longer than anywhere else. That's why he is considered by most to be British. I'm not pretending that he came through the British system. But to the question - who is the best British heavy? Well, he is British, and he was a heavy.
