In your view, who is the greatest ROAD WARRIOR of all time?
The greatest road warrior as champion?
The greatest road warrior as a fighter?
Eusebio Pedroza has the record of most title defenses in opponent's home turf. He has 10 title defenses.
Carlos Ortiz use to fight in your own backyard and used to win a lot of fights abroad. The same for Brian Mitchell and Muhammad Ali.
Any one else that did better than the names above?

I see now that you have greatest attached to it.
Oh well , maybe not Garcia as far as victories goes.
Perkins did real well though.
He fits the bill.

The black heavyweights of the 1900s/1910s. Langford, McVey, Jeanette, Battling Johnson. These guys went everywhere on the globe. They had to in order to get decently paid fights.

Besides the Turpin upset, Robinson beat a lot of people in their backyards.
