    So I suggest that if you've never heard of macklins 'Irish Heritage' before the sturm fight then you probably shouldn't post on a boxing website as most fans have little time or tolerance for ignorance....slide on bigot boy!

    **** off ya rotten little rat!!! Ricky Burns has fought several times in England but that doesnt make him want to pretend he is English does it ya dick. Again it was just a question that came to my head when i saw him exploite paddys day.

    If you were just asking a question, why are you still saying he's pretending to be Irish?

    Listen buddy i will put in simple terms for you ok. As far as i was aware he was BORN and RAISED in England and when started out was proud to be from Birmingham. I was aware he had "Irish Heritage" but untill that fight in Germany he never booted the balls out it OK! It would be the same if some American watched Braveheart then discovered that his great, great uncles step fathers mistress ****ed some **** from Dumbarton and then pretended to be a Highlander. It has nothing to do with nationality just exploitation. Ok sweetheart xxx

    Mate I'm as Irish as they come (great great grandfather straight off the ferry from Kilkenny), if Macklin wants to embrace his heritage then we should accept that if you ask me. And on St Patty's Day too! Och aye the guinness, as they say!!

    there is a reason why ricky [ the celtic fan:yep] fought in england and its pure economics... whereas macklin had no reason 2 fite in ireland except that he considers it his homeland u thick orange *******... now is ur question answerd ... r do u want 2 provoke more people with this pointless debate:good

    Eh...... because the more i think about it he quite clearly is. Was he bigging up his Irish roots when he won his other titles?

    He's an Irish citizen, so he can't pretend to be Irish.
