    The ability to fight on the inside is a great asset but lets take a look at good fighters past or present that can't fight on the inside?

    Wladimir Klitschko is a prime example of a dominating individual who has absolutely no inside game.
    Also, Kessler.. if you will.

    Ali wasn't much of an infighter, although I saw him use little subtle moves to create space and get some distance on his punches.

    Khan has very little inside game. Same as Wlad.

    easy. Just rewatch the first Barrera fight and see how many inside body shots Pac lands.

    He's got close-range shots, like his hook to the body, which makes it hard for people to get in position to smother him inside.

    Still, this is the exact reason why I think Andre Ward would absolutely dominate him, Ward is intelligent enough to neutralize Butes hook to the body, and in doing so he's going to create an opening for inside fighting, it'd look something like Andre Ward vs. Allan Green.

    Carl Froch does not have a really great inside game either.
