Is Carl Froch the second greatest British fighter of all time right behind Lewis?

Lewis was born in England and lived there for most of his childhood.

 

Why is there not even one decent white American boxer then? :think

Rather than hating them you should be thankful for the blacks and Hispanics in the US, without them you would have literally no good fighters whatsoever

 

Boxing has always been a sport that was participated by the more baser elements of society. It's usually uncommon to find prizefighters than originate from a background that was not of a lower socioeconomic standard. This can also explain the recent rising prominence of Eastern European fighters onto the world professional scene (Ukraine, Russia, and other Eastern European countries are poor by European standards). Whites in this country don't fight because they have other options on the table for them.

 

As mcuh as I hate getting involved in moronic "race" debates...It depends a great deal on what you consider "decent"

Paulie Malignaggi spent a decade in the top 10 at LWW/WW and held world titles.

Kelly Pavlik was undisputed MW champ

Paul Spadafora is a former IBF champ at 135

Chris Algieri is about to fight for a world title

Vanes Mrtisoyan is a top ranked LMW

 

Vanes and Algieri are Armenian and Hispanic respectively and they're the only 2 active/relevant fighters on your list

 

atsch

Lewis>>>>>Calzaghe

 

Algieri is a white guy, I literally dont care where his parents are from(Although Algieri is an Italian name) Canelo is white and hispanic for example.

In what way is Algieri hispanic anyway? Seems liek your typical Italian Long Islander to me

And if Armenians arent white, what do you suppose they are?

Does that mean Sicilians and Greeks arent white either?

 

He's black British by nationality and ethnically Afro-Carib Jamaican, that isn't English last I checked although plenty ar*eholes think it is. Khan is a British born national but he is an ethnic Punjabi. Likewise Froch is ethnically half Pole. Polish is an ethnicity just like English.

 

He was born in England.

He grew up in England.

Hes English. Deal with it.

Khan is English too...you should also deal with that.

Also, Froch is 1/4 Polish I believe.

How far back does this nonsense go?/

Do you go into % of normans and anglo saxons too?

By your definition, the British royal familiy arent even ethnically British.
Bunch of Greek/Danish Germans

 

why the hell has this thread extended to 25 pages?

Note the thread title says 'British'

not white or black, not English or Polish,

 

Fair enough I thought Algieri was Argentinian/Hispanic

Anyway you're a very reasonable poster I have no interest in arguing with you. My beef is with this paperagent dickhead

 

You sir, are an idiot

 

Thank you :happy
