    Your genealogy notwithstanding, of course he's have made more money as a Brit, we were crying out for someone to win the HW world title after 100 years of failure. He had a saleable angle from the start in a boxing mad country.

    The British always said he was only British by convinience but Arnie always said Lewis as a kid felt he was a Brit living in Canada.

    I think people have realised how hard it is to fight the best, be technically undefeated and unify the division to become linear.

    It's definitely difficult with all of the various "political" factions that dominate the current landscape, each looking for a way to mazimize their own worth, often at the expense of others.

    It also doesn't help when you have a reluctant "champion" like David Haye in the mix.

    If only Haye had the balls of a Lewis, we might be a step closer to having a unified champion.

    Haye could do with a lot of Lewis' attributes , balls would be a good start though.

    I don't doubt this at all, honestly.

    And even if it weren't true, as GazOC already stated, the facts are still the facts and there can be no denying those.
