so you think RJJ and Hopkins didn't have the balls to leave the States?
Why should they have to leave lol? Any fighter who's got half a brain knows all the money and exposure is in the US, and they're already here. Doesn't make sense, especially for Roy after that whole mess in the olympics.
yeah but to be a true world champion u should fight guys away from your home imo,
yeah u can stay in the States/Britian and beat everyone that comes and make your money
but real champions look 4 a bigger challenge and beat guys in there home towns around the world.
thats why RJJ/Hopkins/JC ect will never get the worldwide fame they deserve,
look at Ali he's the best known boxer around the world, why? because he fought around
the world! just a shame alot of todays boxers won't
One problem, all those fighters you just mentioned IMO are better than Ali so what you're throwing at me is that he's more famous cause he fought here and there, which the fame is hard to argue. But more famous because he fought all around the world, or because the mulsim religion was a perfect gimic for him

Not saying he was a complete fraud or anything like that, but still he didn't want to fight in the war, religion was a good way to get out of that and at the same time make him beloved by everyone. Great fighter, but people need to get off his dick
