Top 10 Infighters?

Nice list George. I think it really highlights both the timelessness and the universal importance of good infighting in professional boxing.

 

Love that Chang made the list

 

Yes, cool list.

A couple of other possible mentions: -

Though not entirely in his comfort zone, but Louis could peel off some nice inside work - see the Godoy rematch for perhaps the best example of same.

Then there is the old Mauler, Jack Dempsey who did some very nice up close and personal fighting.

 

I have a question about how you’re doing this. Is being the best inside fighter at HW (potentially Frazier?) worth more then being the 3rd best infighter at 147lbs despite them being far superior technically? Hope I make sense.

 

Sweet list. Let's push it out toward 20 nominee's and explore the likes of LaMotta, Zivic and Fullmer.

 

Arguello is another who gets sold short as an infighter

 

There's a lot of wheat isn't there. The good thing is after you get down the list a bit it's hard for anyone to overly argue any positions. I remember Wilfredo Gomez doing some awesome offensive work in close too. Sooooo many.

 

It’s almost inevitable given his height, reach and his capabilities from distance that he’s inside work gets thought of after those things, but yep he could definitely fight inside too.

 

No mention yet of Chavez… so, Julio Cesar Chavez. Tremendous infighter by any measure.

 

He's #6 Jel.

 

D’oh! I must have skipped over him in the original list. I thought it was weird that no-one was mentioning him!

 

Great list.

I think Jeff Fenech, Bernard Hopkins, Mike McCallum, Roman González, Riddick Bowe, Andre Ward, and Jake LaMotta are also up there as some of the best infighters as well
