    "Race" is not a scientifically defined concept by any stretch. The grouping and names have changed over time. There is often greater genetic diversity within "races" than there is between individuals of different "races". Instances of a lack of genetic diversity do exist, especially in certain Jewish communities, but it is not because they are all the same race, it is because they decided that only a certain amount of people within the world population could interbreed with their descendants generation after generation.

    Great post, so expect to be totally ignored.

    Race is a social construct.

  5. Because they just believe in a religion, while the ones in Europe come from the smallest villages, without water, electricity etc. ..

    But please back to topic or into the ESB lounge .. we want to talk here about the British fighter with foreign roots ..

    Kudos to other countries who don't rely on blacks to box for them.

    No wonder the English love the average Wicky Hatton to such a degree.

    The English love their fighters as much as anyone, regardless of their heritage.

    Does Hatton still hold the record for greatest ever income for PPV? I'm not actually sure about that but know at the time the Mayweather fight was the biggest PPV.

    No it's not and the adverse affects it has on Society are far deeper than a few sporting medals of guys who most of the time don't represent the true nature of British culture.

    Is that a metaphor for jacking it?
    I'll never personally understand why bigotry and nationalistic bias would even come into it when following a sport centred entirely around the individual like boxing. Maybe that's just me though.
