    Most tall fighters only fight at range so they can use their height and reach to pick off opponents, meaning that they don't know how to fight on the inside. Who were some tall fighters who COULD fight on the inside?

    Tyson Fury
    Riddick Bowe

    Y'all forgetting about Big Towering Inferno Fundora? Kid is one of the best inside fighters right now.

    Antonio Margarito was a machine and was an excellent inside fighter.

    Even Valuev wasn't tall enough that he had to fight outside.

    Maybe there are venues where the roof is too low to fight inside, but I haven't seen any.
