    Is it synonomous at this point?

    Who is the toughest Brit to date?

    There isn't an Obsession. It is an attribute. We talk Chins on ESB. Chins matter. Ask Khan or David Price if having a Chin matters or not.

    It's true, we do have many china chinned fighters. I don't understand why my fellow Brits get so touchy about it. It is what it is.

    But that doesn't make sense... how does that make Collins a Brit? Is Britain Europe? Actually, doesn't Britain want to seperate itself from Europe?

    Old school? Who else doesn't or didn't consider Irish as Europeans? Are you remedial?

    This doesn't make sense...

    Not to me, but in general. And puttin a smiley face at the end of your sentance doesn't hide the fact that you're dumb. It made no sense at all and all you could reply with was "I don't care"...

    Steve Collins is from Cabra, Dublin, Éire.

    What?

    At least them two were born in Britain with a British parent but Collins was born in Ireland to Irish parents.
