I believe Lennox Lewis was born in England, it was his mum that was Jamaican I think. Don't know about the others

I can't figure any list that would have Bruno ahead of McCallum. One was a great fighter. The other people liked to talk about a lot.

In one of those "Legendary Nights" documentaries they referred to him as the Jamaican-born Englishman who represented Canada at the olympics.

"If you're a citizen of everywhere, you're a citizen of nowhere"

I think, anyway

Trevor Berbick was a decent heavyweight.

You obviously don't 'know'. Lewis was born in West Ham. Mike McCallum's the most obvious choice here.

Frank Bruno was not born in Jamaica..........

Mike McCallum is the first that immediately spring to mind. The I suppose Trevor Berbick and Owen Beck.

What about Simon Brown?
He was Jamaican I believe and he was a damn good fighter in his day.

Razor Ruddock.........
