    Lewis fought for Canada during the Olympics after that I don't consider him a Canadian fighter.

    I live in Canada and in the same province as Lewis lived in for some time. And everyone here considers him a British boxer. He fought for Canada as an amateur and for England as a pro. Goes to show polls on this site mean nothing and always will mean nothing. Some polls will be correct but only by fluke.

    I voted Lewis.

    He is no doubt an ATG Canadian.

    In my eyes he is the best boxer to ever learn the sweet science in Canada, great Canada. He brought glory to his home country winning Olympic Gold, one of the highest honors in the sport of boxing.

    The poll reflects my feelings perfectly :hi:

    I suppose you used to get bullied by the big boys at school or you tried to live in the UK and you were deported.

    It must be a very dull if you get your fix by being a dick on the internet.

    To paraphrase Yoda "Hate leads to pain, pain leads to suffferrrrrrinnngg!!"

    *****.

    I actually thought you had an excellent sense of humour when I first read this thread.
    Was I right? Or have I been too hasty in my initial impression?:think

    There's nothing funny about bringing glory to your home country through the application of the sweet science.

    Lennox Lewis, Olympic hero of Canada, moved to the UK for fiscal purposes. Wladimir Klitschko, after winning the gold for Ukraine, also moved for fiscal purposes to Germany and gained citizenship. Let me ask you: is Wladimir Klitschko a German?

    I didn't think so.

    You didn't let me answer.
    Which nation's passport does Lennox carry?
    I'd say Wladimir is German.Just like Arthur Abraham and Adolf Hitler.
    And David Hasselhoff.
