    Ward is better in the inside than Maidana. I even think Matthysse is better in the pocket than Maidana is. I think Maidana needs more room to get off his shots

    Not to mention that he often misses even while leaning on his opponent.

    Rios better than JCC? Marquez isn't even an inside fighter at all, PBF only fights on the inside long enough to get back out. wtf?

    John Ruiz

    He was a defensive master on the inside, hardly ever taking any punches in close range from his opponents.

    Dunno why you're smacking your head. Floyd rolls his shoulders to avoid shots, brings up his forearm and puts it across your throat to make space then steps the hell out of there. When the ref stops him from doing that he smacks you a couple times then steps the hell out of there.

    In fact, I don't see how the **** a Floyd fan could think that Floyd is an inside fighter. He can do it, but only does it when he has to and for as long as he has to, then he's back out stepping around and throwing lead left hooks and potshotting with the right hand.

    Actually I don't. Enlighten me, please. Especially as to which ones he struggled with, as you point out so consistently.

    well here's what you do: You go to boxrec, click on the fighters Tiger faced at 160, then click on their name and see how many fought a sizable number of their fights at well below that weight. There are quite a few of them and you can save yourself some time. Don't try to find every one of them. Just the ones that handed him an L.

    Enjoy.

    Did you not watch the Hatton fight? Or Chavez?

    And Marquez does fight inside
