Are Away-From-Home Fighters The Greatest Warriors?

[FlatLine]

There's a number of world-class fighters today that travel outside of their home country consistently - you've got Pacquiao, Khan, Marquez, Froch etc.. Compare that with the likes of Mayweather, Bradley, Garcia etc.. It has to be said a lot of US fighters have it much easier because they don't travel overseas to fight.

What you think away-from-home, traveling fighters are the truest warriors in the sport because they make the most sacrifices?

Guilty as charged, i thought so

you're guilty of what? being khan's bacha bazi?

How many times has Froch fought abroad?

I don't blame American based boxers not wanting to fight over here in the UK, the tax is ridiculous, would you come to a country which takes 60% of ur winnings? The UK is fine as long as ur not a foreign boxer coming here, because u'll see ur pay cheque dwindle

Pac is a bad example he had no choice but to fight in the US, that's where all the money is and now that he has a fanbase he can fight in other parts of the world

Khan and Hatton I give credit too

Floyd would of been greater if he fought in other countries like ali and tyson did but everyone knows america is where you fight to make it big

dude, what the fcuk is wrong with you? fighters come to the US because the money is here. You think any of the guys you listed make the same money fighting in their home countries?

They aren't "true warriors" they are independent contractors going where the money is-same way telephone/power company guys from all over the country came to the New york area after Sandy or the New Orleans area after Katrina.

Froch has fought abroad about as much as Khan and Hatton.

yes they are. Rios doesn't subject himself to Mexico, nor does pac to the Philippines, or Marquez, or Margarito, or Froch, or provdnikov and golovkin. these guys travel. can't say the same for floyd, who's willing to fight on Mexican holidays but never in Mexico. or poopkins who always has something to say about black power but never fought in africa. sht don't make any sense. the proof is in the pudding.
