If Fury beats Wlad...

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.

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.

London Lenny said it not me.

Brits are fearless with massive bollocks. Canadians are massive pussies. Bit harsh, but that's his opinion.

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.

Yeah, only about 10 countries play hockey to any serious extent.

You want to do a sport by sport comparison between the two countries?

I'm encyclopedic about such things.

[Beanflicker]

You want to do a sport by sport comparison between the two countries?

I certainly do.

We're a country that plays a sport where big strong men smash into each other and fight to the finish over a piece of rubber (not the kind of rubber Greenbeanz likes his missus to use on him, either).

You guys are crazy over a sport where you run around like sissies, no muscle mass whatsoever, and are taught to fall over and pretend to be hurt at the slightest contact.

I mean I like keeping things classy, I didn't want to bring this up, but you guys are kinda ganging up here so I have to pull out the big guns.

[ryanman]

I'd like to compare.

I'm not going to be unreasonable and bring in football, rugby and cricket as you don't play them really. But bear in mind they are are 3 main sports. Football has been a constant let down for a long while. But we are one of only 7 nations to win a World Cup. Rugby we have reached 2 of the last 3 World Cup finals, winning 1. 2nd faves for this years World Cup. Undeniably one of the best there. In Cricket our big rivals are Australia. Current series is 1-1. We have won 3 of last 5 series. We were the number one ranked nation in the world in 2013. Had a downturn for a bit but getting back on it.

But for a fair comparison let's look at team/individual sports that both take part in and are truly global.

First, the Olympics. All time medals.
Britain - 236 golds, 780 Medals
Canada - 59 golds, 279 medals.

Tennis
Recent x2 Grand Slam winner and Olympic champ Murray. GB in Semi-finals of this years Davis Cup to be played in Sept.
Canada has a couple of decent players. But no Grand Slam for how long?

Golf
Several recent major winners for GB.
None for Canada.

Formula One
GB has current world champ. And has more World Champions than any other nation in history.
Canada has had Villeneuve. That's all though.
That's 10 world champions and 15 titles for GB. 1 for Canada.

Cycling
I won't include Britain's track dominance here as that is mostly shown in the Olympics. I'm being fair.
So, the premier road race, Le Tour De France. British riders have won 2 of the last 3. Soon to make it 3 from 4.
Canada have of course never had a winner.
Also, a mention here for the great British sprinter Mark Cavendish.

Athletics
Again ignoring the Olympics as I don't want to cheat/double count. Let's look at the World Athletics Championships.
All time -
GB 21 Golds, 82 medals.
Canada 4 Gold, 23 medals.

Triathlon
Very much a niche sport here but I think you guys like it?
Shame then that Britain has the current Men's Olympic champion and has won 4 women's world titles and 4 men's world titles since 2007.
Canada have zero in both.



I could go on here. It's quite good fun actually.
Again, remember that I'm not using our three main sports as a stick to beat you with as I'm being fair. Also I'm not mentioning the likes of Darts. Or Rowing. Or Sailing. Or BMX. All of which we are the best in the world at.

I claim that the UK gravitates towards sissy sports and you bring up the UK's aptitude for tennis, golf, and riding bicycles.

I'm fucking crying here

Great counterpoint. What other major global sports have I missed? I was trying to be fair.

But Rugby mate...they would eat your Hockey players for one of their few breakfasts.
Formula One requires huge balls.

I respect rugby of course, played all through high school. We had a local fellow named Rod Snow who played internationally and was decent I guess. It's impossible to compete with the kiwis though, as they have summer all year round.

Formula One requires balls but at the end of the day, you're just driving a car.

[Beanflicker]

Or Sailing.

I don't doubt that one at all!

Canada currently has some great fighters like Stevenson, Pascal and Bute that emigrated there.
