    He didn't have the best guard either. His attack was his best defense.

    Good call.

    Arguello IMO is another good example.

    Tyson Fury. Longest wingspan in heavyweight history. Watch his fight with Dereck Chisora. Spent the whole fight inside.

    I'm not saying I don't count those Golota fights as official wins on Bowe's resume. Of course they were. I'm saying they really don't tell us anything about Bowe's skills as a fighter, so are kind of pointless to brag about.

    About Lennox, of course I accept that he had his dirty side. It mainly came in the form of hit and hold uppercuts and pushing his weight down on shorter opponents (and having razor blades in his dreadlocks if you believe some of the Klit nuts). He wasn't as dirty as many others, but it was certainly another tool in his arsenal.

    Michael Nunn was also a pretty good inside fighter.

    Lawrence Clay Bey. 6'3 heavyweight with a relatively short wingspan who fought inside and off the ropes.

    Kind of like a very poor mans James Toney.

    Andrew Golota had some inside skills in his younger days.
