Yeah...I thought I was being politically correct. Would hate to call him English and he turns out to be Welsh, North Irish or something.
Neither Rademacher or Spinks deserved their shots.Now do you want to address the parts you "left out"? The first part that states Johnson fought Kaufmann a year before Kaufmann was relegated to sparring partner status in his camp for the Jeffries fight. The second part that states it was Jeffries who fought his long term sparring partner Tom Kennedy? Or will you do your usual and ignore it, as you always do when you are corrected? Another like Mong ,someone who hasn't the b*lls to admit they are wrong.atsch

Its Northern Irish and then I would be British. I'm English from English parents and grandparents. Best not to talk about a subject you know nothing about, you made that mistake when you ranked the 1940's heayweights!
I just read the wiki page on "british people" and frankly I'm confused as fvck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_people
I was showing you examples in history of when it happened. This thread has nothing to due with Jeffries, so I'm not going to reply or waste time there. Jack Johnson did in fact give title shots to sparring partners and men far worse than Kevin Johnson. I must admit I find you inadvertently funny with your double standards.
LOL. If you go back far enough even McVey's ancestry history on the Island won't be 100% English. Judging by his temper, I suspect some Scottish blood.

The history and explanations of who the term "British" actually applies to is all over the place. There's even debate on weather or not some parts of ireland are even legitimately British. Some English citizens are conditionally British but not all... The territory of Great Britain apparently applies to Northern Ireland, Scotland Wales and MOST of England. The guys in the red coats who fought the American Colonists were also deemed " British" but yet many who live within these parts reject the term "British"... SO what the fvck does it mean to be British?
I know what the thread is about, I started it! You thought you would score a cheap shot and bring Jack Johnson into the debate stating that he defended his title against sparring partners. "I think there was a certain Johnson many years ago who also gave title shots to sparring partners". He didn't, the Champion that did that was Jim Jeffries when he defended against Tom Kennedy You wont reply because you know you are wrong and cannot bring yourself to say so. It's mystifying really because you are so seldom right one would think you were reconciled to being corrected by now? I find you nauseatingly craven and stupid ,not to mention illiterate and a thorough going racist ****h*le.
You can be Asian, Oriental, or West Indian and be British ,but you will never be English that is the difference. You lot on the other hand are what, American ? What is that, a mixture of,Irish, Italian,Polish, Russian,German Mexican, Puerto Rican and god knows what! You don't even have your own language! Every institution, form of government etc is taken from someone else, you're a mongrelized race living under a bastar*ized set of rules copied from others. Half the troops we sent to fight you were Hanoverian mercenaries, and you enlisted the aid of the Native Americans and the French to win. Please spare me the pseudo history.
