    Right, being ko'ed in his prime by Rahman and McCall really soils his record

    Lewis has got it on best wins.

    Holmes has got it on depth.

    Get off that merry-go-round wherever you want.

    Why NoNeck.....whatever do you mean????

    Are you saying the British are dumb and you.....(Americans?) are superior?

    Are you saying you have a better understanding of English than.......The English?

    A bit of both?

    Please explain.

    I'm impressed John, this is an even tempered response from an Australian being accused of being British - ;)

    Which is only marginally less offensive (to the accused) than a Scotsman being accused of being English:

    Plenty of countries - or at least a few - typically speak cleaner & more correct English than England. Arguably the US, & without doubt Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway & Sweden are all better English speakers than at least large sections of the native English population.

    Haha, there aren't many worse things you can call a Scotsman (and that's coming from an Englishman who loves Scotland and Scottish people).

    They’re not too thrilled when someone calls them a Scotchman either Greg.

    It really gets up their kilts and jangles their sporrans. :D
