    As I said he was born in Cornwall England, whether he counts here is up to the OP.Makes no difference to me BTW I'd bet I know more about Fitz than you do Sunshine.Fitz took out US citizenship as soon as he could. From 1883 until1885 Fitz had a grand total of 4 pro gloved fights in New Zealand.Then he moved to Australia where he had 13.

    From Fitzsimmons 1897 to 2000 Lewis, the Brits went 100 years without a lineal champion. Now that have Joshua and Fury, but I suspect neither will stay on top for long.

    At the UK, you either play soccer ( Futbol ) or box, basketball is out of the question! American football is also not very likely.

    The Brits not had a lot of guess internationally speaking at the World Cup. 1966 was their last championship. Over 50 years have passed.

    Akinwande only had a one inch reach on the reach that Fury has and didn`t have jab as good as Fury`s so couldn`t have exploited any reach advantage anyway, the way to beat Fury is to throw the counter right as he overrcommits with his own jab, but Akinwande didn`t show any ability to do this and was awful v Lewis.

    Mace was 58 years old! They fought 4, 2 minute rounds.
    Mitchell never fought Slavin, he just engaged in exhibitions with him.
    Ten all together,several as part of a stage play entitled "U and I".

    Mitchell and Hall never fought, they just had 2 exhibitions!

    Watson? What has he to do with British Heavyweight Champions ?

    Fifty one men have held the British Title,several more than once.

    Seems I know considerably more about this than you do!lol.
    Now would you like to try again?
    Q. What are Mitchell's 3 best wins?

    A.???????

    I repeat Mitchell never fought either Slavin or Hall in a real boxing match,he engaged in exhibitions with both, Slavin10 Hall 2
    Mirtchell had lots of exhibitions with Mace but only fought him for real once, over 4, 2 minute rounds.Mace was 58 years old this was on Feb 7th1890 in Glasgow Scotland. Do you want to claim this as Mitchell's best win?

    Now you are running away on your own thread because you have no answers to my questions and are yet again exposed as a fool .
    When it comes to boxing, you're as ignorant as a box of rocks.

    Its all verifiable on Box Rec and CBZ, but Guhl doesn't accept facts,especially when they directly contradict his agenda.
