    Duran and amstrong definitely, although ive only read
    Articles on armstrong. The human windmill haha.
    Big daddy Bowe possibly the greatest infighter of
    The heavyweights, picture perfect deadly uppercut.

    Toney . I still couldn't pick any1 over him . Toney was a clean fighter , which of course gets no credit here .

    I'll go with Armstrong. Non stop punching and could avoid punches as well. I'm not that into inside fighters, but Armstrong really impresses me.

    This is boxing you clown. Proper dirty fighting is a whole other skill. If you don't like it **** off to the ballet forum.

    Dempsey could really hurt you bad from very close ie: Jack Sharkey KO his fist only traveled about 3 inches for a devastating KO even though it was controversial still very impressive the amount of force he could create from very close range. Dempsey's left hook is praised so much that people dont think about his uppercuts...they were short and deadly on the inside
