Name the best inside fighters in boxing history?

great display by both fighters as far as infighting anybody rember paulie ayala vs johnny tapia 1 both did an could do work on the inside

 

Haven't seen that fight but for me the best has to be Castillo-Corrales I

 

not as explosive as corrales an castillo but the level of skill an workrate def on par they could have fought in phone booth

 

I'll have to check it out sometime.

 

Dick Tiger vs Henry Hank is the ultimate in inside savagery.

 

Also slightly off topic but on the subject of inside fighters. What do you guys think of Brandon Rios do you guys think he has the potential to make this list someday?

 

I love inside fights so I'll watch this one later as well.

Rios is a good infighter, but I don't think he'll ever make a best infighters in history list. He's pretty basic in close quarters and his defense is very leaky. Just seems to be a workmanlike fighter with no stand-out aspect of technical skill. Definitely one of the more punishing infighters today though.

 

Thanks for the response. :thumbsup

 

Two gorilla strong, granite-chinned (and skilled) fighters with big punches slugging it out for 10 full rounds. I don't know if there's more than a couple of clinches the entire fight. Just fists flying at a very high level. These guys hit each other with bombs.

 

How does it compare to Castillo-Coralles? Sounds like good stuff, my favourite kind of fight.

 

Also check out Jimmy Carter vs Percey Bassett and Jose Stable vs Charley Scott for similar fights.

 

and how about Ward-Neary for a great inside fight. Obviously those guys aren't as skilled as some of the others who have been mentioned but they are both entertaining inside fighters of a similar skill level and it made for a great fight.

 

Lacks the ending drama, but otherwise it's a higher level of fight all around, in my opinion.
