Inside fighter vs. Outside fighter?

<---- Paulie vs Hatton

 

Chavez vs Kostya Tszyu. (I'm a huge Kostya fan, people don't like the fact that this fight happened, but Tszyu showed his control of distance in this fight.)

 

well i think of hearns vs leonard, where lhearns boxed from outside and leonard had to get in on him

 

oh if its a brawler slugger vs a boxer thing that poeple are posting up then id say tyson vs holmes was a good example of that

 

Most of my favorite fights are of the real estate variety.

Whitaker vs. JCC is a classic example of this.
ODLH vs. Vargas. Oscar wanted to keep the fight at the end of his jab.

 

Antonio Tarver vs Danny Green

John Murray vs Kevin Mitchell

Marquez vs Diaz 1 (Diaz boxed from the outside in the second fight.)

Marquez vs Katsidis

Carl Froch vs Glen Johnson

Alexander vs Matthysse

P Malignaggi vs Juan Diaz 1&2

 

Cotto vs Margarito and PW vs Margarito

 

Chavez Jr v Martinez

 

Hearns-Duran wasn't a great fight but kind of answers the question.
Mugabi was good at range and gave Hagler a great battle.
And surprised no one's mentioned McCallum-Toney.

 

And I realise Hloyfield was effective on the inside,but I do view him as a distance fighter first,so his battle with the great Dwight Muhammed Qawi surely must be one of the best examples.

 

Curry vs Starling I & II
Spinks vs Qawi
Foster vs Tiger

 

Chavez vs Taylor I
Not a fun fight, but a perfect example is Urango vs Alexander
Juan Diaz vs Popo Freitas
Holyfield vs Qawi I
Williams vs Margarito
Cruz vs Mashaba (a closet classic)
Campbell vs Quiles (brutal)
Ward vs Kessler
Calderon vs Segura (both fights, but odd because the little weak guy wa the outside guy)

It's very rare for this type of matchup to make a good fight. Unless the inside fighter is just better, the outside guy usually wins.

 

pw wasn't an outside fighter, even though he should have been

 

i guess whittaker vs trinidad too?
