pre 1980's...if americans had to travel more,how different would history be????

I've always maintained IF more TOP Contenders from the Best of Boxing Countries could have got to the States more readily and stayed for extended periods, many more of them would have become known & accepted greats.

it is also true the other way, IF more Americans fought on the respected turfs of these other countries for extended periods, you would witness them losing periodically to TOP fighters from there just as much as they did at home in the US.

the divide among the TOP men wasn't as great as national pride would have you think!!!
