    Well lets put it this way. German Promotion and judging seems a bit corrupt, so you're not going to win a fight there unless you sign with the German promoter, Sauerland.

    Montreal is probably one of the toughest towns in boxing if you are a foreigner and you are fighting one of their fighters. They are loud and really get on the side of their hometown guy.

    Who really fights in Russia unless you're going there to lose!

    England...well, I don't think you see too much boxing there, so who has lost there recently.

    As for Cunningham...yes, he won, but did he beat Troy Ross...I don't think so. Troy knocked him down, then Cunningham thumbs Ross to end the fight. Instead of it going to the scorecards, they call it by RSC. Cunningham was smart as he signed with Sauerland and boxes in Germany!

    Oh yes...as for Pascal. Yes, he was born in Haiti, but came to Canada at the age of 4. He learned how to box in Canada and represented them at the 2004 Olympics. I think he is pretty much Canadian!

    Your right I do use the Ring argument to suit myself, this is because it is something that alot of American fans take note of for themselves, particularly the fictitional P4P ratings.
    I wouldnt call Gonzalez, Erdeis biggest win, id say Sahnoune or Garay were possibly bigger wins.
    Still you shouldnt be asking Erdei to fight someone, you should blame Campillo when WBA champ and IBF champ Cloud for pulling out against him. They both did it to him at short notice, so Erdei stepped up a weight division and became a 2 weight world champ, which to was fighting someone decent and an away win, what this thread is about

    The only logical response to any thread you start is to insult you.

    So it is OK for you to use the ring when it suits your argument, but when an American does, it means they are brainwashed?:huh

    if fighters did a bit more actual fighting they would: a, fight away from home a little more. b, once in a while lose without it being such a massive deal.

    Its not easy winning big fights abroad for anyone and im sure there are lots of fights that have taken place in america and abroad where there would have been a different outcome if the fight was somewhere else. Having said that its pretty handy having to sit at home and have all or the majority of your opponents coming to you, nice bonus:good

    Lol...have you considered that there are other variables that factor into this equation. Such as the "Best" American fighters don't travel abroad because the money for a fighter is in America and if they are the best fighter in the fight they probably don't have to travel. Along those lines, European fighters (other than Pascal and Froch) that are good enough to force a good American fighter to travel are typically in the upper tier of their class, hence it's going to typically be in favor of the foreign fighter. Either way, there are far more European fighters who have been destroyed coming to America than there are American fighters who were beated abroad.
