    Hardly trolling.

    It's like another poster said, if there was a comparable boxing scene in Canada at the time Lewis won gold, he would never have gone to the UK.

    Yeah but he would still have been a Londoner. Doesn't really matter what you say slyk, you can't choose what country you were born in. Lennox is a Londoner :happy

    I laugh when I see my fellow Brits getting all defensive and insistent about Lewis's "Britishness".
    If he'd have been a bust as a professional most of them would be saying he's not really British at all.

    To be fair to Lennox, he IS British and Canadian and Jamaican, he's multi-national, not that his nationality matters to me.

    But anyone who thinks Lennox's decision to RETURN to claim himself "British" after winning a gold medal for Canada wasn't completely motivated by the financial and media potential of being a "British hope" at that point in time, is completely deluded.
    It was 100% a career move.
    As far as I can make out, he's lived in Miami and Jamaica for years. And I don't blame him. :lol:

    Maybe he just likes Canada?

    Do a Google image search of Khasavyurt, Russia (Beterbiev's hometown). Looks like a freaking nightmare.

    What he said was not racist.
    Even if it was do you also call out black racists on this forum? Or just white ones?
