Name the best inside fighters in boxing history?

James Toney vs Vasily Jirov was a beautiful display of inside fighting

 

Problem is Tyson was a mid range fighter not a inside fighter.
Once he got inside he always let himself be meakly tiedup.

 

Both KlitschKO bros and Amir Khan.

 

david haye:deal

 

was my first thought.

 

James Toney all day!

 

Good pick, Forgot about him.

 

Yeah people think he was a in inside fighter but he wasn't. He stayed mid range and then exploded inside with combos but then got out again.

 

Mallignaggi no doubt :good

 

Yeah, Tyson's inside game wasn't that great at all... he allowed himself to get clinched and pushed back way too much.

He was more of a midrange operator, like Manny, who also isn't that good on the inside I don't think.

 

James Toney

JCC

Duran

Bowe (amazing for a big guy with those long arms!)

I was going to comment on that too. I've made to comparison to Tyson being a good point guard who's great at driving to the basket, but sucks if you give him the ball down low and he has to post up

 

Having thought about it, that's actually a fine analogy. Well done.
