    I see your point. Some guys relied on athleticism like RJJ but found out when that ran out they would be better served if they had learned how to effectively.

    I agree. He's good at getting there, but once there has a little trouble.

    He's like the point guard that is great at driving to the basket, but pass him the ball down low and can't do anything. But Tyson was decent in the clinch, but just not as good as you'd think

    Lee, Lara and Abraham are good picks here.

    I agree with Klitschko.

    It is not Kessler's best game to fight on the inside but I remember some fights throwing some good uppercuts being really close to the target. He obviously didn't like it or was going for it during the fight but he had some chances to stand on the inside.

    Tyson could be so lazy on the inside that it was a bit frustrating to watch. He could do serious damage on the inside, but he also lacked the polish on the inside like other guys, such as Bowe for example.

    I feel you. It's like he'd get there and rest, when really he needs to be punching. Sometimes he would and do a lot of damage though.

    Here's a good example in the Tucker fight

    Why would saying Pac = being a Mayweather fan ? :huh

    How about someone that is just a boxing fan actually thinking Pac cant fight on the inside ? or is that not dramatic enough for pacfucs ? :-(

    If Ali truly had no inside game, then his wins over Frazier just may be the greatest wins ever by a top level fighter.
