    Not sure why, but this made me laugh. Alliteration I guess.

    As a Canadian who cheered his Olympic victory, I always viewed his as Canadian first and British by convenience. but after my personal bias subsided some time ago, I came to the relization that the man can consider himself whatever the hell he wants to. So, he's British I guess. At least when he's not Jamaican...

    If I remember correctly Panix Promotions by a were formed in Britain by a group of buisnessmen solely to run Lennox Lewis and this is the way he wanted to fight and retain some control over his career,the right money and the right setup were offered by Frank Moloney and Panix and Lewis took it as a buisness desicion convenience or not hes done it his way and theres no coming out of retirement senario which with some fighters is sometimes painful to watch..that he needs to do
