    Ok. It's obvious that Fitz was a Celt and not an Anglo Saxon. And that Cornwall is a Celtic region, as was the island of Britain was before the Angles and Saxons conquered most of it. Like I said previously, I totally get where you're coming from. But do you deny that Cornwall is part of the country of England? Do you deny that Brittany is part of the country of France? Do you deny that Galicia is part of the country of Spain?

    Countries are social constructs. A few decades ago Wales was part of England and not recognised as it is today as any sort of nation/country. That has changed massively in the part 60 years since WW2. The Encyclopaedia Brittanica famously stated: "for Wales, see England".

    Cornwall is being increasingly recognised as a separate nation. Too late, as they have been utterly assimilated beyond repair. But it's a gesture.

    Once again, I totally get where you are coming from. But is Cornwall part of the country of England? Yes or no?

    yeh they came over, albeit in small numbers.


    I guess u have evidence to say they didn't at all? and the answer is, it doesn't matter, anyone coming, they become british in family offspring when they settle here.

    How small are these numbers they came over in? When did they arrive?

    There is such a thing as DNA ****ysis thesedays. Genetic markers can be identified in populations. I am assuming you can find evidence of hunnic DNA in the current British population and post the link here?

    It is not up to me to disprove your insane whitterings, boy. Why don't you prove to me that there isn't a giant, chocolate d1ldo orbiting the sun.

    You have almost backed yourself up with your first couple of sentences
    His next opponent possibly will be Briggs, which I dont think is a good match up, but you cannot knock a fighter who won WBC WBA WBO Ring CW titles and the WBA HW title all in around 24 fights and often as the away fighter.
    He beat the top CW away and beat the next top CW after, he went up to HW and beat Valuev and Ruiz may have been 3-3, but all of those losses were disputed except against Haye who totally dominated, which shows the difference. You forget Haye was fighting a fighter around 7 stone heavier than him and it wasnt Haye who got wobbled

    huns forcing anglosaxons into Britain mixed with them as surely as anglosaxons mixed with Britons. I am not saying they directly invaded, I am pointing out a whole series of migrations. That was the intent of my post - theres been loads of it. Sorry if I inferred they invaded en masse. I didn't mean to write they settled in Britain directly, they caused it.

    I agree. Some posters have gone a bit political on here, hopefully we will soon be round the excellent British HW scene

    I mentioned to many posters previously that as soon as I post, Herol appears as if he is following me. Very disturbing. Best keep him on ignore

    I don't know why you mention Valuev period, not just the 7 stone part. Shot to pieces Evander Holyfield was robbed against him. He was big, that's it. Typical alphabet strap holder of the modern era, because he wasn't a very good prizefighter. Don't know why you're beating the Ruiz point to death. He wasn't very good in his prime, forget about when Haye fought him. And wasn't 1 or 2 of those losses against the same Valuev that shot to pieces Holy was robbed against? But if you want to believe Valuev and Ruiz were any good (especially when Ruiz fought Haye), feel free.
