    Default American fighters are born with a silver spoon in mouth. Home advantage. Fact.

    Now before anyone gets upset... this is not a pop at America. I'm pretty sure the stats would reveal top British, German and Japanese fighters can be successful without leaving their country. Although the top American's really do have a silver spoon in their mouth when in comes to travelling.

    Answering a question about Golovkin's worldwide popularity I noticed that so far in his pro career he had fought in Germany, Panama, Kazakhstan, Denmark, Ukraine, Monaco, California and New York. That is some globetrotting feat which got me looking at the worlds other top fighters.

    I randomly picked out the current top American fighters.

    Andre Ward has never left the states (two fights in the virgin islands against fellow countrymen). 22 of his 28 fights have been in California where he lives.

    Floyd has never left the states. 25 of his 48 fights have been in Las Vegas where he lives.

    Thurman, Porter, Broner and Danny Garcia have had 114 fights combined. Between them they have left the states just three times - Garcia fought in Mexico, Broner fought in Mexico and Thurman fought in Canada. Respect to Bradley and Crawford who both won their titles outside the states.

    Using The Ring's P4P list I picked out the top non-Americans.

    Wladimir Klitschko has fought in 8 countries.

    Guillermo Rigondeaux has fought in 5 countries (no fights at home obviously).

    Roman Gonzales has fought in 4 countries including 19 times outside his home one.

    Sergey Kovalev has fought in 4 countries.

    Manny Pac has fought in 5 countries.



    ((yes I was bored and went into full blown anorak wearing trainspotter mode but it killed some time. Fact.))
