Bowe probably had a more effective defense in close than at a distance. He just didn't seem to have the defensive reactions that are necessary to be a good defensive fighter.

Mike McCallum could be considered a tall light middleweight at 5'11½, but he was certainly effective on the inside.

I wouldn't call Buddy Baer a great inside fighter by any means, but he was 6'6" yet did some of his best work at close distance.
