New York and Texas are as different as New York and England, maybe more so. Most US citizens don't think in terms of nationality. Sadly, our weakness is racial divisiveness.
Europe is alot more diverse than the USA. Most European fighters won't feel any different about fighting outside their home country than fighting in the states. A French fighter wouldn't see any difference fighting in Germany than he would in Vegas. A Russian fighter wouldn't see any difference to fighting in the UK than New York.

Hardly anyone has actually answered the question, and in recent times, the results havent been good, the only good win in recent times is probably Bradleys SD over Witter. Funny how so many people got defensive
thanks for answering the question bailey there has been many big americans come to these shores and fail. the best wins i could think of are mccall v lewis and hagler v minter. they find it hard to win on foreign soil because there are disadvantages to fighting on foreign soil. yet, they expect foreigners to travel to their country and succeed on foreign soil as though no handicap is involved. thank god for lewis, calzaghe, hatton, klitchsko's, froch, benn, honeygon etc
thank god our best fighters arent the likes of Froch, Calzaghe and Hatton. Then maybe we would have to travel to Dustbin, Wales to challenge for titles.

It doesnt matter, you can say Americans use more, possibly, but then no European would stand a chance at beating the likes of Mosley at Welter anyway. I fail to see what this has to do with anything.

you saw what happenned when you sent overhyped american bums like mccllelan, lacy, taylor, dirrell etc over to europe - they get exposed on foreign soil hell, even ali nearly did to henry cooper you continue fighting at home with all your advantages :deal even throw joe cortez in as ref
How did Andre Dirrell get exposed? Being a green prospect going on that oh so terrifying British soil and still staggering Slobra, Froch. If that fight had been anywhere but Nottingham Dirrell wins a wide decision. Hell everyone knows Froch is a brutal KO waiting to happen. Hell I'd rather have to deal with the odd Lacy or Taylor, rather then our best boxers being Ricky Fatton and Carl Froch, and oh yeah the glass jawed Khan. Yep, Britains claim to fame, you knocked down our best once upon a time. I suppose you need any small moral victory you can get. Hey Hatton lasted 10 with Mayweather. He was in there with the best! :rofl
Name one European fighter that deserves to be rated in the ring magazine top 10. From Welter to Cruiser. An American is your better in every division.
