Canabrit.Lewis was British though not American.
I decided any time this arguement comes up, that is how I'll address him. I'll accept Britadian too.

I think they would be more popular by virtue of the size of the American fanbase, the exposure the would receive, and nationalism. However, I still think they would be held to the same criticisms that they are now (particularly Wlad).

And so the question arises:
If the Klits where British with the names Thomas and Nigel would American embrace them even more than they do now?
Umm that would be, a, NO .

We got side-tracked huh.
There is enough Lewis praise to go around. Brits raised him to puberty. Thanks, ol chaps! Canadians taught him to box and prepared him for that world. Merci! And the Jamaicans claim. Let us not forget the Jamaicans. Those awesome hairstyles. Tanks maan!

Re: If the Klitschkos were American, would they get more praise/respect?
My take being if they were Americans they be respected more and there wouldn't be talk of this is a weak HW era. Take Holmes and Tyson for example, they dominated the 80s. Was the 80s a great HW era? Tyrell Biggs, Michael Spinks, Tony Tucker, Trevor Berbick, Gerry Cooney, Tony Tubbs, does that sound like a good era for HWs? But yet almost everyone has said that those 2 were great HW champions and belong in a top 5 list.
And also someone also pointed out race. Race and ultra-nationalism plays a big part in the US. If the Klitschkos brothers were White Americans they would be praised to death. The US media would lap it up. They would be made into the boxing version of Brett Favre.

agreed. who gives a shit He has roots in England, he has roots in Canada. He was born in England. If he wants to impress the Brits, then hell yeah he'll say that's where his heart is. I always supported him cause of his Canadian roots, That gold medal was awesome, as far as I'm concerned he was on our team then.
