He represented Britain and he considers himself Brittish. Lennox Lewis is about as Canadian as Kostya Tszyu is Australian.

    If I move to China and live there a few years does that make me Chinese?
    Lewis reprsented Canada in the Olympics and British fans never wanted him until he became famous.

      Doesn't mean **** that he represnted canada in the amatuers. He was born and raised in Britain and returned to Britain when he became pro and represnted Britain as a pro.

        cotto is hattonesque, without the wrestling with better power and skills and timing and patience.

        hatton actually beat a top 5 p4per and actually beat world champs for his belts.

        cotto fights for vacant belts.

          See, this is just ******.

          Hatton barely sc****d by Collazo to win the WBA title off of him.

          Cotto pretty brutally stopped Quintana for the vacant WBA title.

          Quintana, especially in the fashion in which he won, was a better win, but it means less because it was for a vacant title? That's ******ed.

            I'm just saying... cotto doesn't fight champs for belts, he fights for vacant belts. that's a fact, but you can spin that anyway you want.

              You're the one that puts a negative spin on it because of the context you use it in. The man makes the belt.

                "He fights for vacant belts" isn't a fact. It's a silly statement.

                That Cotto has thus far won only vacant titles is a fact and a circumstance.

                It happened that way, it wasn't meticulously planned that Cotto would only fight for vacant belts so that he wouldn't have to fight 'real' champions.

                In other circumstances, he could have won belts off paper champs of a similar (or lesser) quality to the guys he beat for vacant titles.


                Cotto is legit, and you can spin that anyway you want, but "just saying" should be changed to "just pointlessly snarking".

                      That right there is the difference between the two men.

                      One is a warrior who'll fight to the death and one is a quitter who'll get on his knees and beg for mercy.
                      Yeah, the same Margo that made Cotto quit would lay out Hatton unconscious
