    I think it's the nature of the board, how moronic the average poster is on here. I must admit I rarely bother to make proper threads myself... if there's no one intelligent to discuss it with (in the main) then what's the point?

    All you get here is nuthuggers being EXPOSED!!!

      Duude, UK boxers and European fighters suck. They might be good "across the pond" but here in the states; they just might don't got it.

      Please someone name me some Legacy boxers from Europe that a majority of people would agree with.

      (i.e. Mike Tyson was the greatest KO fighter of this generation. A majority of people would agree)

        So what would you guys consider Lennox Lewis? British or Canadian? Cus if he was born with Jamacian desent, in Britian, but from Canada what does that make him...aside from being a human being.

        Where would he hail from. If people say England, then he's another UK fighter that i appreciate. If he's from Canada, then i'll take Lewis over Chuvalo to represent Canadia.

          Lennox was born in England, so there are those Brits that would say he is theirs. But, I've heard Brits rip on him for his move to Canada and his representation of Canada in the Olympics. He certainly benefited from the move to Canada so his boxing talent might be Canadian/American.

          But who cares, it's Lennox Lewis: he is really a Free Spirit/World Champion.

            Lewis is Jamacian-British.

            He has no Canadian heritage whatsoever.

              Where does Tyson come from? Is he "American" or African?

                Yes, but some would argue he fed off the land so he is part Canadian. That's where he grew.

                There's an Italian Football player, Giuseppe Rossi, that was born in Jersey, but has his allegiance to Italy. Not sure how that works.

                  Because he's Italian?

                    If you asked Lennox right now who he represented as a fighter, he'd say "Britain". Not "Canada", and not "Jamaica".

                      He'd say Jamacia too. He was always saying "Big up Jamacia" and "No guy test" or something after his fights. Came out to Bob all the time too.
