Yea Murica is the Mecca of boxing. That's cool and all you you're the king of Japan but if you don't prove your self in America then who cares

[Blueduck]

Of course not, but yes if you only fought the best in your own backyard, then that's certainly a major knock on your global career.

Lennox Lewis proved himself in America and was always questioned and given begrudging respect. I think his place as a heavyweight is valued more now than when he was active.
