    Bobby Boyd immediately comes to mind, for a guy his height he sure could mix it up well in close and let the leather fly.

    I don't think Hearns and Lopez are particularly good shouts. Lopez was hardly proven on the inside, and the inside is where Hearns was usually at his most rattled, although his power was often able to bail him out even past the point of when his legs were able to.

    i'd say riddick bowe, he could throw an inside uppercut better than most short armed pressure fighters imo.
