    Saddler, Chico and Pedroza were all tall for their divisions and great on the inside in different ways.

    Raul Perez was an interesting tall fighter. Big for bantamweight, super long arms and managed to beat some decent guys including Miguel Lora.

    Jeff Chandler is awesome too, definitely check him out.

    Foreman was tall for his day at 6’4 and had the ability to fight inside.
    Hearns also liked to fight on the inside at times.
    Sugar Ray Robinson at WW was quite tall and could fight on the inside.
    These aren’t specifically inside fighting specialists, but it was something they did at times and certainly had in their arsenal.
