    No unless it was the play on words about MaskaJ*w which ,if intentional ,[hard to tell with Ratsa,]is anti semitic.

    Miss De Havilland is but 100 years old.
    It's not good form to imply the lady's older than that. She's approaching 101 (July 1st), a while yet before she's 102.

    Lewis lived in Canada for 12 years, from the age of 12 to 24. He started boxing there and represented Canada in 2 Olympic games.
    Lewis has Canadian citizenship.

    "When I turned pro, I had to go to the United Kingdom in order to pursue my career. The infrastructure to develop boxers wasn't in Canada then."

    Lewis is undeniably Canadian.

    He's also British.

    Hmm, I didn't catch that.

    Someone should create a cocktail named after that guy not sure about the ingredients yet, but it couldn't be clear.

    I am confused. Are you saying you were booted because you claimed Khan beat Judah by a punch to the cajones. Why would that get you booted?


    I am not going to pretend I have the rosetta stone for your second paragraph?

    Close, but AJ. That could certainly change, and it's based on legacy at the moment. I think AJs resume, as a unified belt holder with three defenses and one win over an atg, is just barely better than Fury's, who took the championship over an atg but then didn't defend it. I think peak Fury is better h2h though.

    Merle Oberon was actually half Indian (mother) but refused to acknowledge her ancestry during her film career.
