When does a fighter deserve to be called a road warrior?

When does a fighter deserve to be called a road warrior?

I often think that title should be given to fighters who are fighting away with everything to lose and nothing to gain, ie a champion defending away. A challenger can be expected to travel and is travelling for their own gain, how many of them would do so as a champion with it all to lose?

Glen Johnson based in America has been given the title, but G Johnson was a almost a journeyman for large parts of his career and I cant recall G Johnson travelling where he was the fighter without something to gain ie he challenged to face Ottke for his SMW title, Branco for his SMW title, Woods twice for a vacant title, Woods again for his LHW title etc.

So who are the real Road Warriors active in boxing at this time?

I would say Froch has earnt the title in that he has fought in world title fights as champ away to J Taylor, M Kessler and is next defending away to G Johnson

I would say Kessler has earnt the title in that he has fought in world title fights as champ away to A Mundine, D Haussler and A Ward

S Cunningham is another who deserves this credit etc

So who do you consider real road warriors and why?

 

Like G Johnson is based in America, Bute is based in Canada

 

Yep, and only fought outside of America once when he had it all to gain

 

Nobody else other than Froch, Kessler and Cunningham to note?

 

Well done :good
