    It has to be between the two, surely? Not just at heavyweight, but p4p, unless I am seriously overlooking someone. Their nearest trailing competition is what, I think Charles Manyuchi?

    And, who do we think would take a h2h match-up in a time machine? Best for best.

    What I mean is that you have now asked the most obscure and kinda "out-there" question

    that I have seen on this forum for some time.

    Needs an award or something

    First thing first.

    Del Boy isnt Zimbabwean he's British.

    Hence why he wears a union jack flag on every weight in.

    Other than that, brilliant question.

    First off he is Zimbabwean. His parents are Zimbabwean. Just because they moved to England doesn't make him British. It is like if my parents who are black American moved to China and had me there. It wouldn't make me Chinese and no Chinese person would except me as being Chinese. I would be a black American who parents moved to China and gave birth to me.

    But Proud did knock out George Foreman in the first round so he is clearly the better fighter. [url]https://boxrec.com/en/event/294084/524363[/url]

    If you grew up in Britain and have called it home for essentially your entire life, wear a British flag every time you get in the ring and fought in the British nationals and Four Nations cup, you're British.

    He's a British national of Zimbabwean birth and ancestry. That's his legal status and ethnicity.

    That is true, he is British. That doesn't negate him being Zimbabwean as well.

    No doubt he is tough as teak. I think the last five years have been his best, has my respect.
