    The info is right there on the page. Why should I do the work? You're the one who doesn't know, so go educate yourself. I already looked.

    You mean the guys - Hatton and Chavez - who really ARE inside fighters who forced the fight to the inside in spots, after which Floyd smacked them up and went back to his preferred range? How often did you see Floyd fight on the inside v. Corrales? v. Gatti? v. ANYONE who gave him the choice? Did you even WATCH the Hatton fight? Floyd spent the entire fight backing up and making Hatton pay.

    And JMM is by no means an 'inside' fighter by preference. He is a classic counter puncher who just about always maintains at least a little more than an arm's length distance and stays right there, he doesn't push them back and work nose to nose. Take four or five seconds to think about what you're saying. I know you know better.

    In other words you have no info with which to present me? I haven't looked over any of these blotches in my research (beyond a quick skim of Boxrec, as overboard as that may seem) on Tiger? You're talking out of your ass? I'm shocked!

    In other words I'm not going to spend 40 minutes looking up **** for you and typing it out that you should already know since you're willing to wave your dick around making statements on the subject like you're the word of god.

    I've made my statements. I've disproved your point in regards to Tiger's supposedly "smaller" opponents (among many others). Instead of acknowledging or admitting your failings you've simply decided to take the circular logic route, wherein you'll disregard all of my findings in favour of taking the argument on a loop back to the beginning. That way we'll never get anywhere, but in your mind you'll have avoided admitting to the forum that you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.

    Nicely done. I hope you don't mind if I move on now.:good

    So what you're saying is, Floyd is a very good inside fighter, but doesn't choose to fight there :patsch

    And Floyd did initiate the fight there vs Chavez a few times and initiated it vs Mosley too. He was going to fight up close vs Ortiz if the fight kept going on, that's what he spent almost his whole training camp working on

    :deal

    and as for Marquez, the Katsidis fight was fought mostly on the inside, where JMM was very effective and was getting the better of Kats.

    In fact that IS what I'm saying. Ali was also very good on the inside when it was pushed on him, that doesn't make him an 'inside fighter'. Hatton was an inside fighter, Corrales. JCC could stand outside and box very well when he wanted to, does that mean he's a stick and move fighter? If you want to call someone an 'inside fighter', what you're saying is that's his preferred way to fight. Brawling on the inside is NOT Floyd's preferred way to fight.
