nobody hated Lennox, but Bruno was loved from the outset for his character, the same as Hatton was even though he wasnt the best fighter in the land. The whole 'hate' thing is made up by jealous americans as there best hw of the past 10 years is a chunky arreola. If he wasnt english why did he have an english promoter and start his pro career in england, he simply missed the olympic boat, nothing more.
But he must've had some sort of link with Barbados then that ment he could acquire Barbados nationality. ie. have a parent born in Barbados before 1966, Marry a person with a Barbados nationality or residency laws, 7 years i believe in Barbados. A 2nd or 3rd generation Englishman can't just pick up his bags one day an say i'm off to play for one of the commonwealth states.
Lewis started boxing in Canada. I dont know about this "failed to make the British Olympic team" stuff.
The British seem to think that you're the nationality of the country you start your professional boxing carear. This rules out Fitzsimmons for alot of them. Well so i read on the British nationalist 606 forum.
and if you want ill post up an interview (again) where lewis says something along the lines of ''im british, i always have been, ive always said I am, but I thank Canada for giving me my chance''
yet your talking to me in English, using your plastic (english) keyboard, using a website in HTML (English), on a boxing (english) website.
Doesn´t change the fact that the English are island monkeys and the most ugly and least likable people on the planet. :good
how can the ''english'' be island monkeys when england is connected to two other countires, as many as the usa.
