The Saudis might jump in and just be the official host of AJs mandatory rematchesWhere the money is. Likely the UK.

I wouldn't be shocked if they attach a requirement that he has to do a press statement saying Yemen had it coming or some insane shit like that.The Saudis might jump in and just be the official host of AJs mandatory rematches
He also won and lost his Flyweight title in Thailand to Thai fighters, which is a pretty big deal just because Thai judges and refs are known to be very generous to Thai fighters.He fought lots of Americans in the US though.
Holy moly that is impressive.Carlos Ortiz IMO. Just running through his record: Elorde in the Philippines, Laguna in Panama, Locche in Argentina, Loi in Italy, Sugar Ramos in Mexico, Joe Brown in the continental USA. That's just the big names too.
he fought Loi TWICE in Italy after he won it the first time in America. The man did it everywhere.Holy moly that is impressive.

Please don't start discussions if you're just going to be a snide cock when you're not right. Tired of wasting my time with this shit. If you don't want to talk boxing, don't quote me and don't make posts for people to respond to. This is kind of what this forum is supposed to be, its not a fan club.
Azumah Nelson gave Salvador Sanchez a helluva a fight before anyone outside of Ghana knew who Nelson was.I'd add Gerry Penalosa, Azumah Nelson and Tszyu in there too, all guys made their ways around.
Locche and Ramos alone give him the title.Carlos Ortiz IMO. Just running through his record: Elorde in the Philippines, Laguna in Panama, Locche in Argentina, Loi in Italy, Sugar Ramos in Mexico, Carlos Teo Cruz in the DR, Kenny Lane and Joe Brown in the continental USA. That's just the big names too.

I was going to mention Johnson as well as Bennie Briscoe, but they didn't win most of those fights. Briscoe got a draw in Monzons backyard though.Laguna himself deserves a mention. Antonio Herrera in Colombia, Angel Robinson Garcia (arguably the greatest journeyman ever) in France, Saldivar in Mexico, Locche in Argentina, Ortiz in Puerto Rico, Flash Elorde in Philippines, Buchanan in Puerto Rico and New York. Not too shabby.
Speaking about Buchanan : Miguel Velazquez in Spain, Laguna in Puerto Rico and New York, Ruben Navarro in LA, Andries Stein in South Africa, Duran in New York, Ortiz in New York, Guts Ishimatsu in Japan, then for the European title : Leonard Tavarez in France, Usai in Italy, Nash in Denmark.
Also, Glen Johnson should be mentioned in any thread about fighting on the road. He lost many, but man, he fought them all in their backyards and hometown decisions were, like, hometown decisions.
