Why are the best Brit fighters NOT really British?

[Arka]

Why don't we start another thread?
"Why are the best American fighters NOT really American"
After all, a few hundred years ago their ancestors were either European or African....

when no money was involved...... why did lennox choose to represent canada?

he only said he was british after signing with a british promoter and started fighting in britain.

Because Lewis liked to make it rain on dem whoes.

are you talking about ethnicity or national origin? cause british isn't an ethnicity.

very true.

what's britain's ethnicity anglo-saxon?

should i ask why the good fighters from britain are not anglo-saxon?

Think about it.

Lennox Lewis is Canadian/Jamaican.

Joe Calzaghe is Italian.

Naseem Hamed is Yemeni.

Discuss.

You've got two choices here.

Either you suggest that Danny Williams is really African, or admit my logic has defeated you.

Danny is from Space. Hence his unwordly power

if joe calzaghe was british...... why call himself the "The ITALIAN Dragon"?

Lennox is Jamaican who considers himself Canadian.

Joe is Italian. He doesn't even want to claim being British. Does he go in the ring with the Union Jack?

Naseem is Yemeni. Last time I checked Hamed is NOT a surname from Sheffield.

I gotta be honest lefthook I dont see your point here. All 3 are British by birth, that's like saying unless you're a native American indian you cant call yourself American, which I'm sure you'd agree is silly. Calzaghe always comes to the ring with the welsh flag and last time I checked Wales was still a part of Britian, Lewis fought under the British flag and Hamed considers himself an english man. I dont see your point here. ***** isn't a typical anglo-American name so should we say he's not American? Get it?
