    of course duran and chavez are the first mentioned but other good inside fighters include la motta (insanely strong) and in recent times mayweather and marquez come to mind

    For heavyweights, Joe Frazier and Riddick Bowe come to mind immediately.

    meh, i consider riddick bowe someone who was simply capable of fighting in close range when he needed too. not that im saying his inside skills weren't good, but his bread and butter was his stiff jab and clubbing right hand

    What about Micky Ward? This is a genuine question by the way.
