and i think what ppl are talking about wen they refer to JC never leaving uk is big fights
But then again, Joe has been the away fighter plenty of times in the UK. With the lack of atmosphere at american boxing venues (see the impact Ricky's fans had in Vegas) I'd say that being the away fighter in Britain has a much bigger impact than being an away fighter in the USA.

And again I'll raise the issue that there have been very few decent American SMW's come through in recent years, and Jeff Lacy was a rare exception, so going to America to fight some other guy, not from America didn't make sense. You look at most SMW rankings and there's at most two or three Americans there, usually between 10 and 20.

Really intelligent contribution. Just go sit in the corner and have another beer.
