    David "Hayemaker" Haye.

    He just stays out of the ring, which is at least 23 feet away.

    Even though he threw slapping punches that appear light, he had to have mixed in some solid shots with them. That and it's possible that he had enough strength to make his opponents respect his power in spite of the bad technique.

    Amir ' King ' Khan

    Khan controls range & distance pretty good.

    One of the reasons he's never been outboxed.

    Oh yeah, I'm actually a big fan of his. He does have pretty bad hands, but I was always under the impression that punching like that actually increases the damages to your hands, but I'm sure he knows more than I would on that subject.

    Could he truly control it that well if he held so much? Why could he not keep them at the end of his reach?

    Golovkin controlled distance very well against Lemieux.

    Deontay Wilder manages to keep oceans and continents between himself and any decent competition. He controls distance like no other.

    I noticed most of the fighters listed also have great jabs.
