    Has it occurred to you that the Normans, Romans, and Viking also did a lot of ****ing in England?:lol:

    Wasn't Lacy supposed to be the next Tyson before Calzaghe abruptly ended that hype train?

    Sakio Bika has to count for a lot considering that he is still a world titlist and still winning fights.

    Mikkel Kessler gets a shout out too, the person that beat Carl Froch.

    Yes... but they weren't in the country for a long enough sustained period time to actually have place there, but I see your point. :rofl

    So you understand that you're not as pure as you think you are. You probably have their DNA running inside you.:lol:

    Uhh, what?

    Neither Froch or Lennox are anywhere near the greatest British fighter ever.

    no that would be sad. Fitzimmons and Kid Lewis are better than Lennox much less Froch.

    Ok, HOW MANY Brits can prove they are of 100% Anglo-Saxon and Celtic lineage?

    How can you possibly know? I doubt many people can trace their families back, and prove that ALL their ancestors were celts and anglo-saxons.
    How many people have actually done this?
    And then there's the matter of illegitimate children, unknown fathers etc.

    Then what gave you the right to define whats "British" and whats not? :nut
    The Brits probably don't want want your shitty opinion about their country in regards to what it means to be British.

    BHOP will always remain a better win to Vitali do to the fact that he is still an active competing champion who broke numerous records in winning titles at an older age than anyone previously in history.

    If BHOP beats Stevenson (which many think he will :boxer) than there is not a shadow of a doubt that Calzaghe's resume will have beaten Lennox Lewis's by a considerable margin just based primarily on the basis of beating Hopkins when he was only 43 years of age.

    That by my estimation is a serious accomplishment.

    This isn't just about the Brits. It's about every European nation being robbed of its identity.

    I don't care if the Brits on this board don't agree with me, over 30 percent of the white British population in the U.K. agrees with my 'shitty' opinion. :D

    Not to say I have any disdain for the immigrants (although I do think them calling themselves Brits in inappropriate), but my opinion on the issue stands very firmly.

    How many Brits are pure Anglo-Saxon or Celts on both sides?

    Does anybody even know?

    I must admit I haven't followed the whole thread .... how did it even go off on this tangent ? Is it because Froch is 'Polish' ? :lol:

    70% of other parties that have completely different agendas.

    UKIP is the singular most popular party for a very specific reason. :hey

    Without going back and reviewing their fights, Lewis strikes me as the more dominant fighter. Joe had great hand speed and movement but lacked real power. Once Joe got into the bigger names he usually outpointed his opponent. He didn't have the power to take them out. As I recall, Bhop dropped Joe early as well but Joe kept pit-patting away to earn the decision.

    I would rank Lewis above Calzaghe and Calzaghe above Froch. I'm sorry but Froch is being terribly hyped right now due to his KO of a relatively untested young fighter.
