    Lewis isn`t a very bright person and has trouble putting himself across, he has a thing about Bob Marley, I think he sees himself as some sort of charismatic Bob Marley type.

    British birth, Jamaican by blood. So aye essentially they're Jamaican. However if they tend to feel more British of have more affinity with the UK then all the power to them.

    I'm no Bruno fan but it should be said he drew a lot of people to Boxing and certainly increased its popularity in the UK.
    On the minus side, the way he was managed became a new norm with an almost endless supply of warm bodies being served up to him

    Utter utter nonsense. The heavyweight era of 86/86 until id say 93/94 was woeful. With the exception of Tyson and a little later Holyfield it was a very weak field.

    In todays era he would be seen as a bit like Chris Arreola. Good enough to expose the hype jobs but failing all the time he steps up (though he did beat maccoll)

    Today he would be top 3 Imo
    Fury
    Joshua
    Bruno
    He's underrated, he would destroy Arreola easy

    So that means I`m Jamaican and Scottish then. Anglo-saxons originated from the ancient Germanic region and then settled in Britain, so by your logic all white Brits are Germanic and all white Americans are European.

    Ruiz would have beaten all fighters at heavyweight from 86-94 except Holy and Tyson, I may be exaggerating but it was pretty bad, no way would the old plodding Foreman get a title in this era, he wouldn`t even get a shot at a title.

    Ruiz would destroy Bruno, he could take his punch and would walk him down, Frank`s chin was way weaker than Ruiz`s.

    Have you read it?
    Its not Nationalism at all Mark
    More a perception of how British HW boxers were viewed
