    Sandy Saddler is amongst the best. He has the best uppercut on the inside I've ever seen.

    Jose Luis Castillo is one of the very best of recent times.

    I always felt that Whitaker was very good on the inside, although it wasnt his game totally

    Definitely Duran. I've not personally seen another on his level. Saddler is a great choice though.

    I almost said JLC but then chose not too cause imo he is not up there with these other guys even in terms of inside fighting, though he is damn good at it

    Tyson was a midrange fighter, he usually did little on the inside except for his right to the body, right uppercut.

    The best inside fighter for HWs is Frazier, in my opinion.
