name your countries 10 best boxing stars.

I read the whole thread through and was pretty bent out of shape at the self righteousness of some. You summed it up nicely and if an individual has their feet in two country's he/she should follow their hearts (or wallets in the case of the fight game) and not listen to people who have no experience. :good

 

British Isles?

Everything here is open to interpretation so its subjective.

 

I know boxrec is wrong.

Its a horrendous website only useful for finding out name and looking at records.

The rankings are awful and loads of their information is false. I'm basically trying to tell you not to use it as any form of evidence as its **** and carries no weight for your argument.

 

Juan Manuel Lopez
Miguel Cotto
Ivan Calderon
Rocky Martinez
McJoe Arroyo (great prospect)
McWilliams Arroyo (great prospect)
Luis 'El Artesano' Cruz (prospect on the rising, M Cotto is his promoter, wicked right hand)
Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.
Jayson Velez (another great prospect promoted by M Cotto)

 

Well this is totally my opinion only...

British Isles is a geographic term which was coined at a time when the whole of Ireland was under British rule.
You will commonly hear nowdays people referring to the British and Irish isles instead, although some people use the old term.

The United Kingdom's full name of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland indicates in the title itself that Northern Ireland is not part of Britain.

I'm not trying to be funny here but
Britain= England, Wales and Scotland
UK= England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
Is officially the way things are, there is no room to be subjective on the issue as seeing it in any other way would be seeing it incorrectly.

 

You're the first person I've ever heard use the term 'Irish Isles'.

 

Well half these guys from Mexico and Cuba...and all over the world live in the usa. Plus the fact that the puerto ricans are legally all citizens from the usa.

Sam peter lives in the usa, Adamek lives in the usa. Martinez lives in the usa.

It gets really difficult unless they were born here and even if they are born here they often consider themselves mexicans or puerto ricans.

 

Its ridiculous that in this day and age northern ireland can be considered english. Its land locked to ireland, the people are irish.

****ing English slave masters. Why dont you stick to your country of England and stop claiming scotland, ireland and wales.

 

I don't mean people use
'British Isles' and also use
'Irish isles'.

I mean 'British and Irish Isles' which I've heard myself from the BBC, Sky etc at various points and the phrase is used commonly here by the Irish media(you'd very rarely hear British Isles in the Irish media anymore). Although the most common description used is simply 'Britain and Ireland'

 

Never heard it. I think you may be deluding yourself and I'll think that until I hear it. I've never even heard it mentioned.

'Britain and Ireland'

Says to me: Britain = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

+ Ireland.

I consider the Irish as foreigners but not the Northern Irish.

It is quite subjective however much you like it. Nationality is general is hugely subjective.

 

Rugby players from both The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland play for one team and it's called Ireland.
