well then it becomes debatable as the fighter himself doesnt want to recognise his nationality, but as far as Im concerned born in germany is good enough.

Urkal feels himself as a german guy, Sam identifies himself turkish. who cares? It´s up to everybody if you can chose between 2 or more nationalities.

i certainly dont care.

not this again.

calzaghe fighting in ireland, does this mean its his second time fighting out side of britain.

i know. f off :(

yup, 2005 will be the year without any american heavyweight champion. will this be the first time after the 2nd world war? who knows that? maybe Lennos Lewis an Herbie Hide?

Not bad...for once I can't be bothered to insult German boxing.

If the Daz doorstep challenge came to british boxing, I would swap allegedly for two German promoters.

Don't mention the war Major.....

"I am Juergen...."

"Rauss, Rauss, Achtung, Achtung! Resistance is futile, you will all kneel before ze fazerland."

when lewis beat Holyfield for the WBC, IBF and WBA titles 13/11/99 there was 5 months while Vitali was WBO champ before losing to Byrd.

Wlad regained the WBO crown in 14/10/00 by which time WBA title belonged to Ruiz....

so there has been a time when technically there were no US champs.... but since Holyfield in about 1997, Lennox and then Vitali have been considered the true champs of boxing..... first time since Schmeling I guess.....when the "undisputed crown" didnt belong to an american.....

thanks knockout, i thought Lewis and Hide reigned at the same time......

so maybe 2005 will be such a historic date for European boxing again
