Ethnicity and "Boxing Lists"  (By jaywilton (26) on 03/15/2006)

After putting together lists of great Italian and Irish boxers,I assumed people understood that there was no requirement to be born in Ireland or Italy to be on it.This,I think, was understood with one exception-sfalconer,who repeatedly denies people born in American also have an ethnic identity.(While I'm no longer on speaking terms with sfalconer,I'm wondering how widespread his belief is-his comments below can be verified from my Irish and Italian boxing lists). 5 = He's off the wall
