What? Kessler already has wins over Mundine (who he beat in Australia), Andrade and Marcus Beyer, plus he travelled to Wales to fight Joe Calzaghe.

What other fighter at 168 has a more impressive resume than that?

And what other top fighter in the world outside the heavyweights and Philippino's has twice fought big world title fights away from home in their prime?
Well that depends how you class a 'big' fight but to name a few..

Ricky Hatton (Collazo, Castillo, Mayweather, Malignaggi)

Naseem Hamed (Cant think of any at this moment in time but he has..)

Big Joe Calzaghe (Albeit they were his last two fights and against well past it fighters)

Infact when I think back boxers from the UK are probably the only people who are prepared to leave their country alot..
That is a ridiculous statement. Off the top of my head:

Librado Andrade went to Denmark to fight Kessler and Montreal to fight Bute. Sakio Bika went to Wales to fight Calzaghe and Montreal to fight Bute.

Adamek went to Chicago to fight Paul Briggs, Florida to fight Dawson, and Newark to fight Cunningham.

The Klitschkos have fought in the US many times for title fights.

Timothy Bradely went to London to fight Junior Witter.
