    Yup gamboa is the only stocky built fighter ive seen box from the outside. Usually those type build fighters have shorter reaches so why stay on the outside and get jabbed to death?

    The only one I can think of who danced around the ring, was Joe Frazier after that Foreman uppercut.

    Tim Bradley? Although he usually mixes it up from being inside and outside

    Andre Berto usually tries (and fails) to stay on the outside.

    Victor Ortiz?

    Eddie Chambers is a very short HW who fights on the outside

    Same. He has a disproportionately large head like Tyson, too.

    If memory serves, SoG, Lyle was a ramrod-straight, plodding stand-up boxer/ puncher with a helluva wallop...hardly mistaken for Willie Pep.
