    Lennox Lewis was a CANADIAN.
    Owen Hargreaves - Canadian.
    Half your cricket team and football team is non-British as well.

    You're a total idiot. I don't follow cricket, but Owen hargeaves hasn't played for England for years. I'd like you to name from the England squad anyone who is a foreign national using a relatives nationality to get into the squad. "half" hahaha

    Ultimately its individuals competing against each other. Nationality really doesn't have anything to do with it. If Khan wins in his weight class it doesn't mean Pakistan are the best boxing nation in the Commonwealth at that weight class.

    How old is he anyway? I can't find any real information online.

    Is he, though? It says he was born in England to Jamaican-Born parents. Then moves to Canada for what seems like, no more than 10 years, plus it was when he was 12 and when he turned Pro he came to England. Sure, he represented Canada in the Olympics but I don't really know if he classifies primarily as a Canadian. Infact, I'd probably rank him Jamaican over Canadian, but that's me.

    i think he's turning pro straight after the commonwealths. doubt he'll get into the GB squad unless he pulls an absolute blinder at these games

    Same here. I can understand the argument that Lewis is Jamacian not British but not the one that says he's Canadian.

    Interesting that no one has mentioned the three English guys that are fighting for Jamacia! Just Khan bashing!

    Or 'British' champions Derek Chisora and Shinny Bayaar!

    To listen to some of your ****ers you would think we were in Nazi Germany!

    Get a grip.

    GO HAROON IQBAL!

    maybe because he had a Canadian passport, lived his formative years in Canada, learn to box in Canada, fought, represented and won the Olympics for Canada, used to wear the Maple Leaf on his shorts - until he realised that he once ate some jellied eels down the Eastend and could cash in by saying he was a Brit!

    Apart from that I cant get my head round it! :good

    Well done wise guy!!

    He wasn't born in Canada, his parents wern't born in Canada. He fought for Canada because he happened to live there at the time, thats all. That doesn't make him Canadian.

    If you want to get into this type of argument (yet again!) I suggest you search out the "usual suspects" on here who seem fascinated by the debate over what constitutes being "Irish".

    I tend to think of him as an international fighter. All this nationalistic stuff is bollocks imo.

    He couldn't make it to the UK team, so he's representing Pakistan. Common sense, nothing unpatriotic about it.

    Actually I think you are missing my point, I am actually agreeing with you - the location of your birth isnt necessarily a determining factor of ones nationality.

    Its never as straightforward as that - hence the reason I think that Nutjobs posts are not just ******ed on a sporting but a personal level
