Luckily for Jones, this fight isnt in Wales!

[Benny Leonard]

Because he's Italian?

His Parents were born in Italy...he was born in New Jersey. The Americans, because we are desperate for a great player, wanted him to play for the US squad, but he declined...he wanted to play for Italy. The Kid is supposedly really good. I'm not exactly sure what's going on with him...I hear United still may have some rights to him so if they do, I'll get to see him play on TV but not for the US national team. The Italians really like him so there is no hope of us getting him back. Oh well.

[Kid McCoy]

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.

That sort of thing goes on all over the world. Representing America at the Olympics this year was a runner born and bred in Kenya, and who had previously competed at the Olympics for Kenya.

Yeah but Lewis is in no way Canadian. His folks are Jamacian. So I dont see the similarity.

Rossi is alright. I think United have a buy back clause on his contract. If he ever decides to go back, he immediately becomes a **** in my book.

Yeah...but I'm not quite sure I'm in favor of it. I guess I should be. It's up to the person to decide who he/she feels they are inside...who they want to represent. However, sometimes, and I see this in Football, you have players from one country go to another and compete in the World Cup for another country...I don't know why $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I wi$h we would do more of that. We have Brazilians coming into this country all the time now; it's time to hand out green-cards/citizenship to the little Ronaldo's.

I did hear before that "America" doesn't just belong to those people born on this land...but to those people all over the World that share the same ideals and want to be "American." Arnold Schwarzenegger is an example.

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

Duuuhhh....American?

LMFAO. Why? You not a Manc fan?

Jimmy Wilde

Education lesson:

Okay....Jimmy Wilde does ring a bell. A very soft one though.

I'll give the brits this. They did develop the sport of boxing though. So i'll give them that.

Dont ever insult me like that again. The mere accusation makes me feel dirty.

Yeah, I know, and I agree: he is??? English by birth...I guess Jamaican by spirit, and Canadian educated. WOW, Lewis is alright. I think his kid is born in America.

If Rossi goes to United, do you think he'll get better like many of the young players do? I think Ronaldo got better there pretty quickly...even though I cannot stand that he dives and acts like a baby.
I'll just call him Christina since I'm a big fan of the real Ronaldo {Brazil} even though he is a mess...shame.

[Derranged]

Only difference is Jones would be able to throw punches back....
