Mace was probably 100 years ahead of his time.

The Question says British and not English so I'm going with one of Maces students Sam Langford. In the early 1900's Canada was as British as Britain and flew the Union Jack. Our Army was British right down to food rations and we took orders from Britain including going to war.

Surely somebodies birthplace and who they identify themselves as is what determines their nationality not where they spent the second decade of their life ? Lewis did not feel celebrated by the ignorant Canadians who could not get past his skin colour despite what he did for your country after only being there 6 years.


"I have always been English, ever since I emigrated from England and since the kids in Canada beat me up at the age of twelve for having an East London Cockney accent. I thank them for the cockney taunts because the beatings turned me on to boxing."

Any man who is born less than 2 miles from were I grew up and supports the same football team as the Queen is as English as anyone you could care to mention.

Nice try though.

When you learn to box in another country and go as far as representing that country in the olympics, I think that DQs you!

Lennox's genetics are from Jamaica and he grew up and learned to box in Canada... just because he talks with an accent and likes football doesn't mean the British can claim him.

Well if I had to pick from this list I would pick Henry Cooper who fought in a very tough era.

Queen was very British, no? I thought that Freddie Mercury was very British.
