    I've never seen a question answered in the same minute - but I think, you're right on the money:good

    Angel Robinson Garcia would be another strong candidate, but he fought in "only" 19 different countries - as opposed to 24 for Perkins. I would be surprised if anyone can top that.

    Saol;u Mamby deserves mention-think he fought in 16 different countries.

    Miguel Canto doesn't have Perkins beat but he had a fair few fights on the road.

    I think we ought to consider Archie Moore - he was a world traveler for matches throughout most of his 4 decade spanning career!

    That, I think, would make him a strong candidate for 3rd place in this category, together with Mamby.
    There may be others up there, but not too many, I suspect.
