    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 :D.
