this always has interested me well it is clear that in the 30's,40's and 50 etc america was clearly the best at boxing and after lets not talk even talk about about countries that could not turn pro but only about those that could, like england or germany etc had joe louis had fought tommy farr in england? or ray robinson had to rematch turpin in england what if billy conn had to go to england to fight len harvey maricano going to cuba to fight vidoz etc what if european-asian etc fights didnt "have to prove themselves by coming to usa" what if it was more fair and americans didnt always home court advantage... were the americans just that much better or them always playing on home turf have to do with it
You raise some interesting points there. Plus at the time as I recollect traveling was by Sea by the many, who made the Trip .
