    Boxing outside your country or even on an other continent is much more difficult as it looks on paper.
    Some very good boxers can't or won't even concider fighting outside the confort of their homes, afraid to get jetlagged, robbed, not having their own judges and refs, fighting in hostile admospheres etc...

    So post your favorite fighter's "abroad record" here, or just one that stands out for being exceptionally good or bad for instance.

    Sometimes it's even hard to determine wich country can be judged as home soil for some of the "world travelers". name them :good

    Is this an indirect insult to Andre Ward?

The definition of a true road warrior.

    What about the klitschko's, they fought several times outside Ukraine.

    No. To be fair, I came up with it when I realized Floyd has never fought on foreign soil because of the going to Wembley thread. Then I thought about Hopkins who doesn't like to fight outside the US because of his record there. Then about Marvilla and Matthysse who both got the short stick because they have to fight outside their borders. But now shook that off

    This is why I made this thread.

    Very good shout. Do you know his exact record outside his borders?

    I mean, guys from o0bscure or small boxing nations have nearly ALL their fights outside of their homelands.

    Irish boxers for example have, for years, fought almost entirely in the US and UK
