Its shocking how strong the HW division is in the UK

wow wht a terrible post, ruiz was rudimentary even when prime. Arguably one of the worst hw champs ever.

 

to be fair, if they are born ehre, they are british/English.

 

The truth. Lennox Lewis was born and reared in London. He is English. Ruby Robert Fitsimmons was born and reared in Cornwall. He is English.

 

Fitz was Cornish, not English.

 

Which doesn't change my point one iota.

 

****phobia on ESB now. Watch your mouth, son.

 

yeah but they are brits just like the Vikkings and Angles and Huns and goths and visigoths and normans who settled earlier.

but sure those of African origin has tremendously helped british sport. Old colonial countries have learnt how to use their old colonies well for centuries, this is simply the latest form of that.

 

When did the Huns, goths and visigoths settle in Britain? You're trying to be clever but you have no clue what you're talking about.

 

I already wrote that Fitz was born and reared in Cornwall. Are you claiming Cornwall isn't part of England?

 

Yes, I am claiming Cornwall isn't part of England. Cornwall is one of the 6 celtic nations. The fact that England has destroyed its culture and language through colonisation and claims it as part of itself doesn't change that in my eyes.

 

I know Cornwall is a Celtic region. And Brittany is part of France. With a name like Fitsimmons, he's obviously a Celt as well. But that doesn't change the fact that Cornwall is part of England, unless they've separated. Have I missed something in the news?

 

Fitzsimmons is an Irish name of Norman origin, as it happens. Not a Cornish name. And I won't be waiting for England's permission to call Cornwall a nation by separating from it when they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

 

Believe me when I tell you, I totally get what you're saying in this post. But that does not change the fact that Cornwall is part of the country of England. In your opinion, is Brittany part of France? Is Galicia part of Spain?

 

The Celts of Brittany are a bit different. They were Cornish and settled in that area when the English drove them out of Cornwall. I'm not sure I can agree that they are as entitled to that land as the Cornish are to their's.

But that's just my opinion.
