Lennox Lewis on the ridiculous claims that he is not English

[Flab]

go take your meds , rizoom.

Umpa Lumpa!

[alframsey]

Even tho Lennox never boxed BEFORE he came to the land of REAL men...namely CANADA. And did all of his training in CANADA. and was sponsered, trained, financed and sponsered for not one, but TWO olympics as a representative of CANADA. He is a [email]f@g,limpwrist,assbandit,turburgler,gutless,lisping ,kn0bgobbler......and.. therefore...obviously.......English.case closed.

So this is how you see the British, stop calling it England, are you forgeting that we are Great Britain/The United Kingdom??? There is a reason for that you know. Anyway, if this is how you view the British then you are very wrong my friend. You say Canada is the home of the brave..........don't make me laugh!!!!! Britain is the officail home of the Brave, the only country that can rival it, even slightly, is the US, and that is essentially because of the WASP's and that they were born from British stock.

By the way, are you Canadian or American??? You seem bitter?

[alframsey]

Whatever the mother is, the baby is, and his mom is Jamaican right.

Ok then, if he is Jamaican cus his mom is, then his mother must be African really, as almost all inhabitants of Jamaica are African? And therefore there is no true American apart from the Red Indians???

I completely disagree mate.

[squealpiggy]

Whatever the mother is, the baby is

A woman?

Lennox was born in England, supports West Ham United, moved to Canada, moved back to Britain to turn professional, spent much of his career based in England, has ties to Jamaica and bought a big fucking house in Florida when he retired because it's warm there.

It's like me: Canadian by residency, British by birth, Man City by the grace of God.

I'm curious.Do many of the posters here insisting that Lewis is British,make the same claim about ,say, the tennis player Greg Rusedski?

Lennox Lewis was born in East london. Lived in East london till 12.Went to Canada came back and represented Britain.

Greg Rusedski was born in Montreal. Lived in Canada then represented britain.

Theres a big difference.

Yeah

that was such a dumb thing to say on Arka part

[stefjonno1]

Ofcourse he's english. He repped canada in the olympics as he was living there. To say he aint english is dumb.

[Arka]

Yeah

that was such a dumb thing to say on Arka part

So if Rusedski insists that he is British,because:
he has a British passport(he changed his nationality in 1995),
he represented Britain for 13 years in the Davis Cup,
,that his mother originally was British
and lives in his London house with his wife and daughter
it doesn't matter cos he's really a money grubbing Canadian?

No.The reason that he is considered Canadian by many British fans is that he never won a a Grand Slam .

No one disputes his Britishness if he wants to call himself British. He's different to Lennox in the fact that he was NOT born in Britain. His birth certificate will say Montreal, lennox's birth certificate will read London as place of birth.

Before rusedski represented britain i doubt he lived for a prolonged period here. lennox did live for a long period here both before and after he lived in Canada. he owns a ****in nightclub 2 stops on the train away from me FFS!

I've said this before. if Lennox had not won anything for Canada or even laced up the gloves he would be known as an English guy.
