    May have gotten booed, thats not the point. Forget just boxing fans, It would be extremely hard to find a common sports fan in America that didn't know who he was :deal Which DISPROVES your theory that Calzaghe isn't known in America because he's not American.

    ...and this is called trying to bait me into an argument. You know what? You're right. It's the truth, but you are only really looking for an argument. Boxing in America sucks and you want to smear our noses in it. It's only feeble pride that gets you any responses. Really, Americans have nothing against you guys across the pond.

    Lennox Lewis was a British import and he certainly didn't fine tune his skills from any British trainer. Furthermore, I only remember him getting booed after putting on a boring performance. His ****ed up attitude didn't help either.

    I never said that, I said hes hated on because hes not american, not that hes not known because hes not american. Americans are always slow to catch on.... look at the Beatles.

    Basically if youre born in Britain, move to the USA and learn to be a mechanic, fly a British flag in your garage, but you arnt really a Brit because you learned how to fix a car in the USA, is that waht your saying?


    (Canada in Lewis' case)

    Well you do, you use the net, computer, phone no doubt, bicycle? ( maybe too fat but hey) tv I am sure you use, lightbulbs, planes? most medications I can go on and on, but you clearly see you do care about what comes out of Britain.

    Its not like your sports catch on worldwide, NFL watered down sissy Rugby and ''baseball'' a blue collared dumbed down version of cricket lollllllllllllllll

    Oh you're also a boxing fan, that came from Britain too.

    First off, Lennox's parents were born in raised in Jamaica. So he is basically a Jamaican who happened to be born in England. Furthermore, he moved away from England at age 12 and learned to box in Canada. So Lewis has no English bloodlines, and didn't learn to fight in England.
