    Looking at the current Ring P4P top ten the only one would be Shane Mosley. Though Bernard Hopkins hasn't fought outside the US since winning a world title a decade and a half ago...

    Why would anyone want to fight outside of the U.S if they could help it? That's where the money is. If you want that cash money you got's to come here. Just saying.

    Surely in terms of "so called" great fighters who never fought outside their country, Sven Ottke has to be near the top
