Tall fighters who could fight well up close..

Yeah he actually got the better of Stevie on the inside and Johnston was no slouch there at all. Ironically, the shorter Johnston did much better when he decided to box with Bazan on the outside in the rematch.

 

interesting! theres a thread for johnston too! "short fighters who could box very well on the outside"

 

No doubt, his fights with Manfredy, Mendy and Bazan show testament to that.

I loved watching Stevie Johnston back in the day. Thought he beat Castillo both times actually.

 

Lewis ?

 

Not a tremendous inside technician, but he had aspects of that part of the game down, such as his tremendous uppercut, which is one of the best weapons in heavyweight history.

 

Not really. Just in the footage we have he is fighting a dwarf who was 5 ft tall.

 

Oh ok, i was under the impression Ortiz was about 5ft 7 but i'm probably mistaken.

 

Lennox And Bowe where both ATG in-fighters at heavy IMO

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, judging by Duran I.
