    I know I know the only german born fighters of this list are
    Zbik, Brähmer and Sylvester and they are all from the former DDR
    (RobertStieglitz)Sergey Shtikhlits was born in Russia but has german roots


    but how may top British boxers have got imigrantion roots ? :think

    What about Calzaghe, Froch, Khan, Haye .....:hi:

    Well considering they were all born in Britain thats much better than having:

    Abraham, Kentikian - Armenia

    Sturm/Huck - Bosnia/Serbia

    Stieglitz - Kazakhstan (?)

    You act like because I'm British I actu ally like all or the majority of British fighters. I dont. My top 5 favoruite boxers are Canadian, Australian, Japan x2 and Thai.

    I have no problem with the fact that our top fighters are immegrants.
    And i'm not a german Patriotism too. (only at soccer)

    My favorite boxer is Juan Manuel Marquez
    My favorite german boxers are Abraham and Stieglitz

    One of my favorite fighters was Calzaghe and i'm still not sure if i should cheer for Abraham or Froch

    Pirog was great but i still belive Grennady Golovkin is the best middleweight form eastern europe. This guy has it all.

    British Matthew Macklin seems to be a future top middleweight too

    Barker > Macklin IMO

    and yes I do agree Golovkin will probably be the middleweight ruler in the future but Pirog's style is very pleasing on the eye and hes seems pretty cool aswell.

    If his parents were both Jamaican then yes.

    British and Canadian citizen though.

    This is my opinion on nationality. As everyone has said, its very subjective and everyone has different views on what defines it.
